I almost always hit the neutrals for Christmas.  I used some tea & coffee-stained tags to create this festive trio, using stamps from the Victorian Christmas #2 and Christmas #3 plates.  They're all stamped in Archival Ink, and I've done some gentle Distress inking around the edges just to warm up them up and draw the eye into the centre.  A few tiny wooden stars and some baby pinecones finish the look.  Hop over to Words and Pictures if you'd like to see some close-ups.

For this challenge I used the following products.

Distress inks in vintage photo, scattered straw & black soot.

The stamps used are from The Artistic Stamper Christmas range

Christmas Plate 3 and Christmas greetings plate 1

Brushos was used to colour a piece of card which the tag was then cut out of,  this was then put through  a Tim Holtz snowflake embossing folder. distress embossing pad, gold embossing powder. For the wooden snowflake I used Deco art's Media range

 The Father Christmas and Merry Christmas were stamped onto card coloured with the distress inks

then torn out and swiped with a bit of guiding wax

We hope that you will join in this month's challenge and look forward to seeing your creations. Don't forget to add a comment when you have posted your entry.
