there's a new challenge up over at Scrap Africa - which i am co-hosting and challenging you on this month...I love themed challenges as inspiration and a starting point for creativity, having said that i hate following rules too but i usually use them to trigger an idea, colour scheme or theme. so if you are in need of getting a creative jump start this festive season then join us and come and play along...
the challenge was snowflakes, stencilling and glitter, and here's what i did with my tag.
the background was coloured using Mister Huey inks and Distress inks. Once dry i used a circle stencil and stenciled two different colours of ink over each other. i also inked the edges a bit darker to add definition.
i used the same colours of ink to colour my seam binding ribbon - you can get yours from www.scrapbookstudio.co.za - they have loads of colours ins stock and their service is really great.
the snowflake is from Celebr8 and distributed by The Wholesaler. i love these snowflake layered chippies - they are so detailed and delicate. i misted the top layer with Mister Huey and then once dry added a layer of Star Dust Glitter glue.
to finish off my tag i added some stamping and diamante for texture and dimension and added pattern. this would make a great gift tag for a pressie....
head on over to the blog and see what the rest of the amazing team came up with - truly different and unique. and for a chance to win some goodies....play along with us! we would love to see what you do with your snowflakes.
very pretty tag... love how you've once again combined very different elements and made it look so effortless and like they were meant for each other.
