SS Snowman Tag

Hi. I've just got enough time to squeeze in this blog post before the end of the challenge. I've designed this tag for the Outlaws Monthly Progressive Challenge . The image this month is called Snowman (65snowman) and created by Sandisamples . I've coloured him using pencils. I then stuck him to a hand cut gift tag that I coloured using Distress Ink. I took some small foam balls, cut them in half and stuck them to the tag. I've finished off with a few die cut swirls and a small bow. I'd like to enter this tag into the following challenges Outlaws December Monthly Progressive Challenge Creative Knockouts - #173 Christmas Delight C.R.A.F.T - #395 Anything Goes Lil Patch Of Crafty Friends - #48 Anything Goes Thank you for stopping by.

Using this month's Garda Steiners Designs December Progressive Challenge image called Wishlist Santa Claus .

I then wrapped it up and added the tag and ribbons. I've coloured this image using Spectrum Noir Markers and pencils. I've fussy cut him out and made him a tag. I hope that you like what I've done with him.

ABB Postie Winter Card

Hi again. This is my second post of the day. I think I'm nearly at the end of my Christmas creations for this year. However I have a few more creations I'd like to share.
