Challenge time @ Creative Card Crew...D

I think time is just whizzing past.. nearly Christmas and dare I say it.. I am not ready for it LOL!

Anyway down to business.. well fun really.  It is challenge time again over at Creative Card Crew and the theme this fortnight is STAR.   Now I am not one for making Xmas cards etc so for this challenge I have decided to make a tag with a christmassy type theme.. I think!

I embossed the tag with a snowflake embossing folder and painted it with black acrylic paint.  Now why didn I just use black card.. well this is the thing I used the stiffener board out of an envelope. See recycling again, I just cant help myself.  Anyway with what I saved on the card I made up for in colours on it.  I used perfect pearls, gold rub n buff, silver, bronze and copper mist.. A little more black paint as made it too bright lol.  After that farce i thought I had better decorate it.  I used a couple of Christmas tree shapes and Christmas key shapes cut out on Craft Robo.  First time it has seen light of day since owning it lol.  Smacked wrists for me I think LOL.

I covered 3 silver snow flackes with burnt sienna paint and used 3 rusty tin stars above the trees.  I fixed the keys to the tag with a snowflake charm that could pass as a star if one closed their eyes lol.  I attached a chain to the snowflake.  

Now it is PIC time!






I do hope you like my latest take on Xmas.  Why not pop on over to Creative Card Crew and join in the fun with us!
