Today Crafty Hazelnut brings a new weekly Christmas Challenge

with the theme 'things with wings'.

If you enter you could win a prize...

Last weekend I was on a virtual crafty retreat and I did some practice with water colours...

this was my attempt at a festive bird using my shimmery water colours, adding a Happy Little Stampers sentiment and a few stars:

I trimmed it adding faux stitching with a fineliner, and placed it on a fancy card blank.

I hope you will join the

25 Days of Christmas Tags - Day 25; Tis the Season Day 20, November 27th

       

This is my third year of participating - I really enjoyed it last year (and the year before!)

 And when it came to Christmas, I had more than enough tags made!!

It is hosted by Tracey McNeely and you will find the main hop post here
She works really hard to organise this hop and secures many sponsors!

Day 25 sponsor is Pretty Pink Posh

Each day I will CASE or be inspired by at least one tag...! Usually there are several that I am inspired by. Then visiting and commenting on other participants means that I see ideas that I have missed or see more inspiration!!

  
Here are my tags:

I was inspired by Tracey herself

 on Day 25 with these lovely tags!

I decided to go with the holly...

These are my versions:

Recipe:

1. I cut the card into stitched tags.
2. I then painted water colour images of holly using my shimmery water colours.
3. The sentiments are from Happy Little Stampers, stamped in black Versafine.
4. Holly ribbon.

Color Dare Challenge #422

 

This is another make for the

Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge DT

Do pop over to the Color Dare Challenge and take a look at my teamies' makes!

This is today's colour scheme

I used colours from the middle row in Distress Oxides. I smeared these across the Stampin Up trees embossing folder and spritzed them with water. I placed a piece of white card inside and rolled it though my Big Shot. I then left it to dry...

Recipe:

1. White square card blank.
2. Layer of background with black Distress around the edges.
3. Tim Holtz geometric Owl cut in black card, and using double sided adhesive paper for ease of adhering.
4. Sentiment from Dyan Reavely, stamped and cut into pieces before sticking in place.

Hope you will join the Color Dare Challenge...

Happy Crafting!

I was inspired by Lindsey M-P

 on Day Twenty Three with these lovely tags. 

I just went with the funky one on the right using my markers and a Sharpie to draw the optical illusion, adding some ribbon between the front and a piece of green card on the back.
