Christmas Elephant

Hi there,

I have some great news to share with you today. From now on I am a DT Member at Skipping Stones Design and on this Tip/Technique Hop I want to show you how to turn an everyday stamp into a Christmas stamp:

• stamp the little Santa hat from Paper Smooches Chubby Chum Pals with Versafine (Onyx Black) and mask it with Eclipse Tape
• stamp the elephant from Skipping Stones Design Elephant End with the same ink over the mask
• color the images with ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Pens, a damp brush and Wink of Stella Clear Glitter
• cut out the Sizzix Birch Trees from white cardstock
• cut out a Clearly Besotted Stamps Rounded Tag from the Birch Tree Background, a second one from white cardstock and a third from patterned paper from the Maja Design A Gift for you 6x6 paper pad
• create a background on the white tag with Distress Ink (Tumbled Glass) 
• color the Birch Trees with Distress Ink (Pumice Stone, Hickory Smoke), adhere them to the tag from white cardstock
• ink up the edges of the tags with Distress Ink (Hickory Smoke)
• thread silver sparkle twine through the holes of the tags
• apply Versafine (Smokey Gray) through the Echo Park Mini Dot stencil directly onto the light grey cardbase

I would like to share my creation at the following challenges:

Stempelgarten Challenge #42 - Stanzen

Just us Girls Challenge #314

613 Avenue Create Challenge #144 - Anything goes

Sparkles Christmas Challenge - Distress it!

I hope you enjoy the rest of the hop and make sure to leave comments until Wednesday October 14 5:00 PM EST because Skipping Stones Design is giving away a stamp set to one random commenter.
