More swaps !!
Yet another swap on UK Scrappers (can you tell that I like swaps? ) This one was for Decorated Christmas Chipboard ... I chose tags as my 'thing' I used the old sizzix original scalloped tag, cut 10 from mountboard (well it is the nearest thing to chipboard I have in my stash!) The first picture is what I planned to do but after doing one, I decided that I didn't like it and chose something else instead ! It was inked around the edges with distress inks and stamped with a Crafty Individuals stamp and covered with UTEE ... I think it looks quite poo but my daughter likes it so she can have it lol .... BTW - do we have smilies on here as I am having serious non smiley withdrawal symptoms ! :(

The next picture is the tag I actually did for the swap ... again - distress inked edges, stamped image (who's make escapes me right now and I can't be bothered getting up and going 2 or 3 feet to my desk to find out !!) I coloured his face with watercolour pencils, used gold dabber paint (put on with my pokey tool !) for his glasses rims and glossy accents for his lenses :) I used the middle bit of a poinsettia medallion stamp for the flower (covered in UTEE) and die cut the letters and added glossy accents to the top of them ... oh and a bit of stickles diamond around santa's head :) Hope you likey :)
very christmassy. I like the first one too. Great use of the script stamp background.
