It's challenge time over at the Artistic Stamper! The theme this month is "Anything Goes", just perfect for this busy time of the year....
I used several of the Artistic Stampers Christmas stamps, (links can be found on the blog there). I used Distress Inks in various blue tones, mainly Stormy Sky, and did my stamping in Cornflower Blue Archival. Also used some of the Tim Holtz stencils as you can see and a little snowflake embossing folder.
The actual holder was also made from Kraftcard, 1/2" larger all round and embellished with bits and pieces from my stash.
Hope you will play along with the challenge, you could win a fabulous price, so do make sure to check out the details HERE.
Thank you for visiting and all the best with your seasonal preparations, hope they include some creative time too!!!
