Stempel Spass

Hi Everyone, This is my fifth and last week as Guest Designer over at  Shopping Our Stash  - in case you don't know its a weekly challenge, where you are supposed to use something in your stash - preferably something neglected ;) This weeks challenge is  Paper Strip Art - Use the Bargello Technique on your card or project. Now this is something I would normally avoid.... I have this aversion to use patterned paper, although my stash is quite impressive.....not sure why I ever buy any.... So I procrastinated a bit about this and then I finally made my card and here it is: Again, I avoided patterned paper - oh well, it was not meant to be.... If you want to learn abo ut the B argello technique click HERE . Just gonna tell you - you need a lot of adhesive and you can not make this in 5 minutes... The sentiment is by  Simon Says Eager to try this? The challenge runs until Midnight December 5th - come and play along! Happy Stamping!

Today is day #26.....And may the party never end ;) The tag party is hosted by Tracey McNeely from  In My Creative Opinion .

Added the Christmas trees and heat embossed in white.  The honeycomb tree I drew on the honeycomb paper and then cut it out and glued it onto my tag.. Added a punched out red circle and punched a hole for my ribbon through it. Also added the die cut sentiment - also by Cutplorations.
