As always, the Tim Holtz featured challenges give me nightmares!  I ALWAYS struggle with the grungy style so I do tend to shy away from it.  My project manages to feature a fun TH stencil AND remains clean and simple (and super glittery of course!  I die cut a couple of tags from the Simon Says Stamp Large Tags dies and covered it with a layer of a gorgeous glitter embossing paste using the Holiday Knit TH stencil.  This is such a great (and quick) effect and I think I’ll be using it LOADS for the last few Christmas cards I need to make (like, 50!!!).  For the centre of the tag I used the Circle Sentiments from Simon Says Stamp and embossed it in silver before die cutting it with the Stitched Circle Dies (also from Simon)!  For a last touch of sparkle I used a little rhinestone on the centre of the snowflake.

I thought whilst I had all my stuff out I’d create a matching card to go with the gift tag – makes everything look quite classy I think!!!

So now it’s YOUR turn, Happy Crafting
