Silver Sparkly Tag

Last minutes makes ... a tag inspired by Nancy
I tea-dyed a manila tag and then embossed it with the Tim Holtz snowflake embossing folder which I covered in distress ink beforehand. I quite like the effect of the double treatment ....
I layered the tag with lace and gauze - patterend papers from Authentique and Fancy Pants - image and sentiment from PaperWhimsy. The little branches are cut with a Martha Stewart punch and glittered them with Stickles. The finishing touches are vintage lace sewn to the tag, vintage buttons and blings.
Merry Christmas to all of you, Petra.

Sparkly Snowflake Cards

... as shown on the 5th Day of Whimsy. I made four cards using Nancy's instructions as inspiration and all of them turned out slightly different

All cards are slightly wider than A6, the patterned papers are from FancyPants and Kaisercraft and the images including the sentiments from PaperWhimsy. I used an EKSuccess punch to decorate the edges of the second paper layer and Nestabilities shapes to cut out the snowflakes and circles. All snowflakes are covered in lots of Stickles and so am I .... The stamp is by Stamper Anonymous, the little snowflake punch from Woodware. The cards are adorned with lace, button twine, blings, pearls and buttons, Petra.

Sankt Nikolaus Mitten

Inspired by Nancy's tutorial for the 12 Days of Whimsy I created a Sankt Nikolaus mitten using burlap, tartan cotton fabric and felt. The image at the front is a Santa Claus from the Graphics Fairy which I had printed previously ... luckily because when trying to print a new image the printer cartridge was out of ink (sigh).
I cut the image and covered it with clear accents and added a little bit of glitter. The finishing touches are pompon and tartan ribbon and a little jingle bell. Petra.

Whimsical Button Fairy

The First day of Whimsy ... Nancy created these fabulous button fairies ... and I enjoyed every minute creating the little fairy

Supplies:
images: paper whimsy - silver paper lace, buttons, silver wire,
paper flower, blings, nestabilities, jingle bell

The biggest challenge was to find a substitute for the beautiful silver doily Nancy used in her creation. After a bit of a search I found this neglected silver paper lace which I've had for a long time but never used. I cut it with a Quickutz scalloped circle die. Otherwise I followed Nancy's instructions, I only added a little jungle bell - for Christmas, Petra.
