Also, don't forget to check out our Frugal Friday specials this week...a few of our sets are 40% off, but only for weekend and only while supplies last.

I decided to play with our newly released HOLLY JOLLY ORNAMENTS to make a Christmas tag. I watercoloured a background and then stamped one of the solid ornaments in our Purple Pansy ink using a stamp platform. I then overstamped the image with our Purple Petunia ink, and then stamped again with our Wicked Black ink, but only inked along the edge of the stamp. I then used our black ink to stamp the sentiments. To finish it off, I added a little sparkle to the image with a Wink of Stella pen, a chipboard snowflake painted white and coated with Glamour Dust, a bit of twine and some ribbon. 




Hope you plan to play along!
