Mixed Media - a Fall Wreath - and Checked by Santa

I have been a busy stamping bee tonight -  I watch The Voice (do you?) and it's been taking up a lot of my evenings, so tonight the show was the first live elimination and only 1 hour - I rushed up to my craft room after it was over and started to stamp!

My first project is for Mona and Sue's Mixed Media challenge - this week, instead of giving us colors to use - we are to create a Holiday Mixed Media project

 I decided to make a Christmas Tag.   I used Perfect Pearls, and silver embossing as my mediums

I laid the Graduated Stars stencil over my die cut black tag and inked over the stencil with my Versamark ink pad.  I removed the stencil and brushed the Perfect Pearls over the tag using red, gold and white colors.  I went over the tag with my heat gun to try and set the Pearls so they won't rub off.  Next I die cut the deer and silver embossed the text from MPD Collage Backgrounds over it.   I adhered the die cut time piece and the Tim Holtz deer over the tag - the deer and circle are up on foam dots.  I added star rhinestones and the ribbons.  The sentiment is from PTI.

Next on my agenda was to make a card for Merry Monday - using red, aqua, white and circles and I used the Mojo Monday Sketch

And here's my card.  The background, label and sentiment stamps are all from Waltzingmouse.  I sponged the red banner onto the background - masking the outside lines with Eclipse tape.

and for my last creation - I just had to play along with the Curtain Call challenge - I just love the inspiration picture

I used one of my favorite wreath stamps - an old one from PSX - stamping it directly onto the patterned paper.  I colored the berries with a blue Copic and simply stamped the sentiment from Lil' Inker Designs onto a sentiment strip by MFT and layering it with foam dots under the wreath.

Well -  I think I'm done for tonight -  got to get up at 5:45 am for work -  but at least it's Friday!  Happy Weekend everyone!
