Fridays are when Fairy Knoll has their new challenges and Alex really enjoys creating with their images and especially loves working with Brandi who draws them. She is super sweet and really tolerates Alex being crazy well. That takes a special kind of person. This week the challenge is CHRISTMAS or WINTER. Alex did a bit of both it being the 12 Days of Christmas and all.
For the background on this tag she smooshed (yep those technical terms again) some distress ink on the craft mat and then sprayed it with water. The tag was drug through until soaked. Alex then dried it with the embossing heat gun and then picked up spare drops on the craft mat and dried it again repeating several times.
Then she grabbed the fabo swirl stamps by Prima and the Viva Decor Precious Metals paint in silver to create snow flurries on the background.
Happy Holidays!
