Now onto our second challenge which is...................

Our sponsor for this challenge is ...........

.......................Carol, the owner of Close to My Heart, is offering a fabulous prize of a stamp set shown here...........

...................how cool is that (wouldn't mind winning that myself - oh well never mind!!!).

Without further ado here is the tag I made - and boy did I have fun and got my fingers nice and inky!!!!!

I have used several of the Tim Holtz distress inks as a base colour then sprayed a Glimmer Mist on top. I had to let it dry off over night but was really pleased with the result. Here is a close up...........

I used a Christmas word stamp on the background. The main image is from Crafty Individuals - a stamp I received as a prize from Suzy - finally I have managed to use it as it is perfect for the vintage theme.
I inked over the stamp with the same colours as the background then used a gold pen to line the edge.
I then punched out some snowflakes from word paper and glitter card and layered them. The final touch was to add the pearl swirl - rather pleased with how this worked out.

I would love it if you could visit my team mates to see their fabulous creations for some more inspiration.....
