It's time for my midway post for our challenge over at
where the theme is add texture or anything goes.
For my Christmas tag I cut my base in white card
and then matted it with some woodgrain paper (SU)
which I had ran through my plank embossing folder, (SU),
and then wrapped some lace around it.
I then ran the tag through my sewing machine
for some extra texture.
Next I die cut two hearts using a Spellbinders
set. The small heart was ran through a
dotty embossing folder and I then swiped some
white ink on the raised dots.
The larger heart was embossed using a
snowflake stencil and crystal paste.
I then added some die cut snowflakes using
a Tutti die set and finished them with some
gems. The words were stamped and cut
and positioned in place.
I finished it off with some white tulle.

Next up is my ATC. Lots of texture going on here.
So I started of with some heavy brown paper
from a Basic Grey set.
I stencilled on some crystal paste to the base
and then used some marigold embossing powder
to the bottom half and heat embossed it.
I then wrapped some twine around it.
Next I cut the coffee cup from an old paper set (SU)
along with some coffee beans.
The sentiment and spoon were stamped using the
Latte Love stamp set (SU) and all
added to my ATC.

I hope you get time to join us.
