Just Inklined September Blog Hop



Good morning!  It's that time again, for another excursion in creativity....in other words, this month's blog hop at Just Inklined.  This month we are showcasing some of the newest Christmas images, using the theme that will make you smile 'A Blingy Christmas'.

Don't forget to leave your comments along the way, for your chance at one of the two spotprizes.  Our hostess this month is the very talented Lori, which is where the hop begins.  I've listed the participents names and links below.....wouldn't want you to miss anything!

Lori, Karen L., Joyce (that's me), Gaynor, Dawn, Tammy, Tangii, Jak

Well, what do you think so far?  Aren't these images wonderful?  And there is still lots of time to get them made up before Christmas.  This one is called Myrrh, and it was a delight to colour up using copics and a bit of pencil, with some DI for around the edges.

The papers are from the Melissa Frances - Home for the Holidays collection, and the blue cardstock is actually kraft...inked up with DI to give me the colour I wanted.  You'll see some gold peel-offs, pearls and glitter paper, plus a chipboard star which I embossed and then painted with gold.  

The sentiment is a stamp from Lizzie Anne, called Holiday Season, but I only used the last part of it.

I do hope you enjoyed your visit, and all your stops along the way.  Here's wishing you a wonderful crafty day!
