Snowflake Tag & a Freebie

Hi all!

If  you are looking for the Fred She Said Christmas Challenge go HERE.

Here are the details of my Snowflake tag project :)

For the tag, I drew a snowflake to use in my cutting machine.

 ***FREEBIE ALERT!***
I have a Digital Snowflake Freebie for you to download. It is on my box.com (UPDATED JUN 2017 link working)

 DOWNLOAD SNOWFLAKE SVG PNG JPG FREEBIE

  I have included an SVG cutting file, a black png for auto-tracing into your cutting software if you can't open SVG.  Also a bunch of PNGs and coloured jpgs you can print and cut or design with.

I cut the snowflake out of cereal box board and painted with gesso, inked with a glue pad and applied glamour dust.  I cut the backer out of card stock and sponged on some Iced Spruce distress ink.  The image is Hat Tipping Snowman.  I embellished with Stickles and a Viva Pearl Pen and MS Branch punch.


I'd like to thank DEBBIE and CAROL H for being on the Fred She Said DT.  Sadly they are leaving and we will miss them and their wonderful contributions.   I wish you both all the best - BIG HUGS!

:)*  Fred

Here is my BLOG HOP project :)

I used the Christmas Poinsettia Lantern Set.  I printed the included text background, wrinkled and distress inked and shimmer sprayed with gold.  The lantern and poinsettia are pre-coloured ( set comes with outlines to colour as well).  I used distress ink coloured and wrinkled seam binding and my usual favourite pearl string ;).

OK MY SPECIAL WORD FOR YOU IS "FRED"

Now please go to ROBIN'S Blog to continue your journey!  Have fun!

Christmas Poinsettia Lantern COL & Digi Set

"Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."

John 8:12

Both Pre-coloured and Digi images are included along with extra images, sentiments and script backgrounds.  This will be a favourite of mine for my family Christmas card making for sure :)
