Merry Christmas Buntin

This fortnight at Crafty Boots the Challenge is yes you've guessed Christmas ! I am sure you have all been and are still busy making cards and some of you even gifts for the festive season so heres something I made to send to my lovely daughter at University for her and her friends to hang in the flat while they cook themselves their very own Christmas dinner before they leave to go back to their families.

The photo doesnt really show it very well but below are a couple of the banners so you can get the idea.

The Buntin was cut from red and green card and both colours were stamped in black archival ink and embossed with holographic embossing powder. After the they were dry I spritzed them, the green with dylusions cut grass ink and the red with cosmic shimmer mist Lava Red (ooh that was a bit messy but I survived).

The Merry Christmas letters were cut from Tim Holtz idea-ology Christmas Kraft resist paper using my Cricut before being inked with my new Ranger brushed pewter distress stain. I also used cut & dry foam to roughly apply the pewter stain over all the tag to give a bit of a shiny effect before glueing the letters on and putting a red brad through the whole in each of the letters.



I folded over the top of each piece and attached the twine using double sided tape and lots of cellotape as I didnt really leave enough card to fold over.

Merry Christmas all and try and have some fun dont get stressed about not sending / making those cards if you dont get time xxxxx.
