Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge is getting us ready for the holidays! A tag, gift wrapping, card or any other holiday inspired project will do... I had some lovely speckled ink left over from another project that had me reaching for my vintage Santa stamps to stamp onto the inky background.
I was working on another project which was consuming a lot of black, gold and white sprays and after I splattered my project I had many little dots left over. I just laid my white cardstock into the spots and repeated until I picked up all the extra ink.
I then stamped Santa on the background. Added a touch of color to his cheeks. I found some of the ideology remnants in my stash and rubbed them on. A hint of sequins and a quick holiday card.
Onto my second project for today... I was inspired to create a series of holiday tags bird inspired and I decided to create a series of tags leading up to Christmas. The project overall was a lot of fun and made me realize just how many bird stamps, stencils and misc embellishments aviary inspired!
I stamped the background using a coral ink and smeared the surface with white ink which made it much more pink. I love these owls and he made a great start to my Day 1 tag!

Fantastic projects Suzanne! Love the vintage Santa with the inky background! That tag is darling! What a cuuuutie! The shimmery detail adds a great touch!
ReplyDeleteSuzanne...these Christmas projects are so pretty. Of course, being such a lover of vintage, I adore your Tim Santa on the inky background. That is fabulous! I also think your more retro-ish tag is so cute. Love the background and that little Santa owl is darling! Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such a sweet comment, too! <3 Candy
ReplyDeleteHi Suzz, hope you are well. Love both your pieces today, the vintage santa set against your inky background looks fabulous on the first card and I love the pretty colours and focal image in the second. The santa owl is just so adorable . Tracy x

ReplyDeleteGreat projects, Suzz. I love the effect you achieved with the dots on the Santa project. You are a grave woman! If I would've done that, I guarantee it would've been a smudgey mess. :)
