Sandra at Stamping For Pleasure has a monthly Christmas  challenge she calls Rudolph Day where she makes at least one Christmas card.  This month she’s inviting us all to take part, and she’s offering a little prize to a participant too.

This card has taken the best part of a week to put together and I’m still not happy with it!  I think the only thing I actually like is the little tissue flower I made!

 

 

Here’s a close up of the flower.  It’s made with 12 separate tissue sheets cut with a 1 1/2″ scalloped punch which are then laid out and dabbed lightly with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink before before stacked together and secured with a brad.  You then twist the layers up one by one and then fluff them out.  I also added a little bit of Crystal Stickles too.

 

All of the papers are scraps, even the tissue paper was from a gift I received.  The stamp is from Penny Black and I embossed it in silver and then embossed a smaller section in blue.
