On the Eleventh Day . . .

of Christmas, QKD gave to me a Frozen Dragon with some glitter!



I painted my tag with some blue acrylic paint, let it dry, added another coat and then some chunky glitter. I then used my heat gun to quick dry the project, but in the process my glitter melted! oops! But, I loved the way it turned out. It took on an icy appearance on the card, some of even turned a little black but it just added an extra dimension to the project. I then turned to my Frozen Dragon and added some glitter to him, just where it would normally fall if you were standing outside in the snow. A quick hit with the heat gun to melt it down like the glitter on the tag and he was complete. I added him to the card with a silver bow, and the tag was finished.

Wow, just one more day of my 12 days, and it might be one of my favorites! See you tomorrow.

On the Tenth Day and the QKD Monday Blog Hop

It's that time again for a QKD Royal Monday blog hop; this week the featured challenge is a sketch by QKD herself! You can check out the sketch at the QKD blog, and if you didn't start from there, go back and start from the beginning. But, if you are here from the wonderful Helene's blog, then you are on the right track.

So, back to the sketch. I pulled out some old Basic Grey (yeah, I have lots in my stash) and thought it went with my Frozen Dragon! He was perfect for Day 10 of my 12 Days of Christmas projects. Of course, if you look carefully, you can see that I also used the Fairy Background stamp as well on this project.



Of course, I do not know if he is unhappy because he is so cold or if it because I dressed him up in pink! No matter what he is just simply adorable!

So, it is time to head off to Meredith's blog hop! Happy hopping!

On the Ninth Day of Christmas . . .

QKD gave to me a kitty in a library. Meet Mr. Stalone! Isn't he just adorable!!! He is perched on the shelf, making sure that you do not peek!!! I used the same resist technique that I used previous with the Funky Trees tag and loved the way it turned out with the teal blue.

I added a flower and the Do Not Open sentiment from the Light of Christmas stamp set.



Tomorrow is the Monday QKD blog hop, and it is a sketch challenge! So make sure you head back to see Day 10's creation and those of the fabulous QKD design team.

On the Eight Day of Christmas . . .

QKD gave to me . . . Mr. Froggie. I think he is just so cute!!! I put him among some Christmas packages; the stamp set I used for the packages is from a previous QKD Royal Kit. While this kit is no longer in stock, make sure you check out the past kits and pick one up before they are gone. But, if you did not get the kit, then make sure you have a package stamp; you can find them in the Gift of Love Mini; the Happy Birthday to You set; the Fantasy Gift Stamp; Light of Christmas Stamp Set; the Ride with Me Stamp Set; and the Birthday Celebration Stamp Set. You can also find some great Christmas stamps and papers in the Dec. Royal Kit!




Mr. Froggie is so cute among the gift packages, definitely not the ordinary card, is it? But who doesn't love frogs!!

Thanks for staying with me so far; just a few more days of my 12 days of Christmas.

On the Seventh Day of Christmas . . .

QKD gave to me some Funky Trees! This is such a fun set; there are three different trees in the set, but I pulled out the one the one that I see is as a Christmas tree. Of course, it could be used for other types of projects.

I used a cool resist technique using wax paper; I lightly ironed the wax paper on the tag and then after some of the wax transferred, I then used my watercolors to paint over the top. After it dried, I gently rubbed off to reveal the resist and then stamped my tree image on the tag.

The To/From sentiment and the Do Not Open sentiment come from the Light of Christmas Stamp Set.





I then added some stickles for my star and my little ornaments on the tree. Again, a somewhat traditional set, but nontraditional at the same time. Come back tomorrow for day 8.
