To day is day #7 of the 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS and as its monday it has to be MACABRE..... our new challenge is COLOUR BLIND CHRISTMAS...... you must not use any red or green... not even a smidge!
I used pale blue chistmas dp that i distressed... a lot!..... and pretty sheer christmas ribbon that has christmassy words all over it in silver..... but then i used the MS graveyard punch to edge the black card to which i attached the ribbon.
I stamped the little girls face and masked it... i then created a grave yard scene using stamps behind her.... and then over stamped with some branches..... i coloured the picture i created with ink....cut it into a circle and really darked the edges. I stamped 'memeries' down the side of my backing paper, and put 2 pearly hearts on.
Inside it says missing you at christmas......
the story in my head.....? This poor little ghost, all alone at christmas..... SAD hey? Christmas does that to me.
Please come and join in with us this week... its our last challenge til the 3rd of January.
Jolly hoppers.... the blog roll is at the top of my side bar.
Thanks for visiting me.... see you for day 8.
Love lynx
