Calendar Challenge Week 12


Last week of the Calendar challenge at the Craft Barn! The theme is Red and green, pine tree and sparkle.
I was thinking icy white, gold and/or silver.. well I had to rethink and I was not inspired!




The main image has been stamped with a Katzelkraft stamp , embossed in black, then coloured with felt tip pens. I distressed the whole panel with inks and matted it on handmade paper.
There are 2 further stamps (both freebies from a recent magazine) that have been embossed with clear powder directly on the calendar and highlighted with red and green distress inks.
I then used some die cuts around the page, including the tree and snowflake which I glittered in gold, and the holly branch which I "iced" with a mixture of white embossing powder, white/transparent glitter and perfect pearls (I was getting desperate) as shown here:


See you soon for the finale in which I reveal my cover for the calendar...
