Tag It! Simon Says Stamp DT

Hello lovely peeps!
I have resigned myself to the fact that I am The Grinch this year due to my severe lack of Christmas spirit lol.
We are one week closer to the big day & I still haven't bought any presents or written any cards not to mention my lack of handmade cards that I should have created! I have however decorated the house as even though I'm not feeling my usual Christmas love, hubs loves Christmas as usual & has been itching to put the trees up.

 It's Wednesday which means ..........    

 at

SIMON SAYS STAMP WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE

& this week our challenge is
TAG IT!

We are showcasing
TIM HOLTZ
 products on our creations this week.
You don’t have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used

Don't forget you can enter our challenge 5 times and there is no limit to how many challenges you combine your entry with.

Do you use Instagram ?  If so, please add #ssswchallenge to your challenge entry uploads so we can see them on there too. 

I have created a tag for today's DT project using a Prima tag as my base & although I'm not usually an inky girl I did create the background by stamping some of Simon's lovely exclusive own brand stamps into my card stock in Versamark Watermark ink, and then embossing with clear embossing powder before using a variety of distressed inks blended over my images.

The lovely ice skates are from a Tim Holtz BigZ die which I have die cut and then coloured with my copics, and of course added a little sparkle to the blades.

The copic colours I've used are -

W6, W4, W2, W0 / C3, C1, C00, B0000

As always our lovely Heidi is sponsoring our challenge with a $50 voucher for the fabulous 

Simon Says Stamp Superstore

The little acorns were collected by hubs while out walking Jester across the fields & have been dried and glued back in their caps, and the pretty flowers are by Prima.

I've used Simon's gorgeous Falling Snow & Falling Stars stencils with embossing paste & wanted the stars & snowflakes to stand out really well so I gently went over the paste with a white gel pen once dry.

I'm entering my tag in the following challenges -
 Crafty Hazelnuts Patterned Paper - anything goes, The Sisters Of Craft - anything goes

I'm off work on holiday this week so I am hoping to catch up on some much needed sleep & force myself to brave the Christmas shopping at last!
That's me finished for today peeps!
Thanks for stopping by
