Ho Ho Ho - Gio

Hi, 
Gio's turn today with some lovely decorations made with the Crafty Individuals Christmas stamps. 
She took her xmas tree out on the balcony with 30º outside to take the pictures :)
It also shows you how to use non Christmas stamp into christmassy projects.

 For the garland: 

I stamped on a piece of heavy cardstock the image from CI-378-'A Royal Bird' with Jet Black Archival ink several times. I cut the centre out, leaving the flowers. I stamped some birds from the same stamp and I cut them out. I covered the images with tacky glue and I poured on them some Vintage and Sparkle glitter (Bathing beauty metallic and Gemstone metallic). I tapped the excess and I set aside to dry. When dry I coloured the flowers with the watercolours Derwent blocks using a waterbrush. 

Using some jump rings and a chain I linked the elements together.

I stamped the dog and the cupcake from the stamps CI-381 and CI-374 on a piece of cardstock. I coloured them with watercolours Derwent blocks using a waterbrush. 

I glued them to the rings on the back. I added the chain and some glass beads as embellishments.
