Christmas Tree Keepsake Baubles/Decorations, Cards and Tags

Hi all, today I would like to show you some Keepsake Christmas baubles, one each for Rosanna and Morgan and one for us, one side has a coloured image and the other side is for a photo I hope to take on Christmas day.  This is a tradition each year I buy some Christmas decoration so when they leave home they will have a selection of goodies for their own trees.

This is a look at them before I put them in the plastic bauble as it was hard to get a photo without a reflection, you know what I mean lol!  They are coloured using copics available from Sammi over at the Mad for Markers Store.  You still have a day and a half to enter our Anything Goes Challenge here

I have glittered around the edges and here and there lol!

The background has been embossed, then distress inks and glimmermisted.  (These are the inserts from some window cards I have made. 


just had to have a purple dressed snowman lol!



This is Santa inside the bauble, I have put the date on the top.  I am going to buy some flowersoft, as the sparkly fluff was too fine and give it a snowy ground.

 The two snowmen (just had to have a purple one lol!)

Took a class with Jennifer McGuire on using distress ink and learnt quite a bit, this is my interpretation of her window card.  Added a few pearls on the embossed background.  The snowman is heat embossed and I added a little more colour with my copics.
After embossing and colouring I used sandpaper to take the colour off the top of the dots to make them white.
 The glimmermist really adds a beautiful sparkle

Finally a couple of simple, sparkly gift tags


Challenges


Now onto making up twelve calenders with photos to send overseas, so guess I won't be getting up to mischief lol!
Thank you for stopping by, hope you all have a wonderful weekend.  Happy Thanksgiving to those of you that celebrate, take careX:)
