Christmas Wishes

Last day of the month... and just time to join in a couple of Christmas challenges.... Rudolph Days July challenge ....  and another card to help Jo celebrate challenge #100 at Christmas Kickstart



I've been a little Christmas Bauble crazy of late and for this one I tried something a little different...  for this I die cut a circle to use as a stencil and blended a couple of baubles with purple Distress Ink, then used a star stencil to add some stars using Distress Oxide.  Finished off with some stamped foliage and a gold embossed sentiment.... please not the little bauble hanger... I'm awful at drawing in these but found a tiny parcel stamp which suited the purpose just fine.


Now all of this stencil work was because I read the calendar wrong - quick glance at my desk one to see that there's 5 weeks this month so to join in with Darnell's IDEAS prompt - that would make it 'S' for Stencils...  nope, it's just 4 Mondays and it's 'A' - Anything Goes.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, have a wonderful day
Cheers Robyn

    These baubles are so lovely. The colour is beautiful, and made even better with the stenciled stars. Love the greenery for the baubles to hang off ... and the sweet gift package for the top of the bauble. :) xx

    I'm glad it is anything goes and I didn't have to wait until September 29th to see this amazing bauble Christmas card, Robyn! I love that you made your own stencil and how you overlapped your baubles and added stars to them! And using that little gift stamp for the hanger was absolutely genius!! Thank you for using this week's I.D.E.A.S. Calendar and linking in the gallery to motivate others!📌Hugs, Darnell

    How lovely! You added the stars so beautifully and adding little parcels to create the bauble top is genius! Thanks for joining Gail and me at The Christmas Kickstart, Jo x
