The background for my tag I used the Winter Weather ATC sheet and cut small strips from a few of them 
Stuck them on a piece of cardstock
Cut them into a tag shape
And there you go


I have  and added a bling sliver ribbon bow


I had an acrylic deer head I made from a mould That every time I try with clay it never works out but with acrylic it’s perfect lol 


A mini canvas with an image from the Nouveau Winter collection

I started by adding some texture paste with a diamond stencil 
Then added some floral paperclay corner pieces 
Then I painted the whole canvas with black gesso 
After it all dried I went over everything with some different coloured waxes - starting with white, then some silver and ending on an orange/gold one to pick up the gold in the image
I added the image to some cardboard to raise it up a bit
And an acrylic window I made from one of my moulds
I had a tiny wreath charm so I added it to the window to add a little Christmas to the canvas without overwhelming it 


Three Christmas cards made with the Christmas Misses images two with not so traditional Christmas colours


I took some white cardstock and swiped some pale pink paint across it with a palette knife
Then added the grey ribbon (it had wire in it which I took out)
I added a couple of little flowers and a small acrylic bauble charm I made
Added the image which has a touch of pink to it which is why I chose it 
I like non traditional colours at Christmas 


I don’t use a lot of green in my crafting but Christmas just calls for it doesn’t it hahaha
Anyway with this card I used some bling paste which has a lovely sparkle to it which unfortunately you can’t see in photos
I had this pretty gold sparkly ribbon so I added a strip down the side and chose two images 
They reminded me of a mother and daughter who were out shopping hahaha
A little Christmas tree charm with some jute and it’s done


This card was a background I was playing with and didn’t start off its life as a Christmas card hehehe but as I said I like non traditional Christmas colours and this image is black and white so you can do anything with it
I have some gold texture paste with one of my favourite stencils which I used over the top of the water coloured background 
I found a chipboard Holly piece which I was given in our KK last year 
I used green wax over that which I lightly wiped over it so it only just coloured it
I used some cardboard to raise the image and it’s done

I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and safe and very Happy New Year xx
