Good morning!
Wow that was a storm last night wasn't it?! It got so bad that Keiran got frightened and had to sleep in my room bless him! I hope you are all safe and there hasn't been too much damage near you.
Whilst the storm was raging, I was doing what crafters do best....craft! And here is what I made!
I have been playing with the Milk Carton Bigz Die. This is an idea I have had for a while, but not had chance to finish it!
I have used the Typset Alphabet Bigz to create the lettering, and each battery operated candle is covered with the lovely new gold washi tape from the upcoming Spring/Summer catalogue.
Here is the full garland...
It is all fastened together using Cherry Cobbler baker's twine and I have added a Frosted Finishes embellishment in between each letter.
Isn't it lovely? And it is easy to turn the candles on and off through the holes in the sides, which were created using the 2nd smallest die from the Circles Collection Framelits.
Click on the images to buy directly from my shop.
I have a few challenges I would like to enter this into...
I'm off on the school run now...see you tomorrow! :)
You have created a really great Christmas banner, thanks so much for joining in and sharing with us at Stamping Sensations challenge.
