Anne's challenge clean and simple

Its time for our fortnightly challenge at the Christmas card club (see my side bar for the girls who play) and Anne has set the challenge   Clean and simple....I bought this stamp last year and didn't use it and thought it would be good for this challenge....Clarity stamps wordy trees......

embossed with gold powder, the background is just embossed using the Tim Holtz  alterations embossing folder and a bit of matting and layering on gold mirri.....

Hope you are all well and I am looking forward to seeing your creations on Sunday....have a good weekend.

Lorraine's challenge...feature a sentiment

oh this really has had me thinking and looking at all my stamps...not an idea in my head till I watched Barbara Grey on C&C doing a bit of gilding flakes and I thought well you have them and never used them so I was brave and gave it a go!

I struggled a bit with the stamping...I used stazon but it didn't seem very dark any tips ladies? I cut out the centre and rubbed on gold flakes and then cut out the outer boarder and did green flakes....then a few dew drops for the berries....
Hope you are all making the most of the long weekend we are just back from a steam rally, very muddy but great fun!
