Weekend Twinchspiration!

Hello stampers!

I'm back with another new entry to share with you today!

This lovely Twinchie Christmas sign was sent in by Karen Dimmock:



From Karen:

"I have painted some 2 inch mdf blocks in cream then used the Glimmer mist masks with Matisse inks, then stamped with a Stampin' Up background stamp. I then inked and embossed some chipboard letters to spell out the words "Merry Xmas", which I adhered to the twinchies. I also inked and embossed some Grungeboard Christmas shapes, which I also adhered with some extra bling". 


"I used some gold foil to embellish the twinchies further before adhereing them to two boards which I had painted and crackled, I also added some of the gold foil to the boards along with some beads to make a Christmas greeting sign".

Here is a close up of one of Karen's Twinchies:



What a lovely idea for a Christmas decoration Karen!

It's a hot one here in Australia this weekend - so stay inside in the cool and do some stamping! :)

Have a great weekend everyone!

Wow - that is just beautiful! I love the beads, they finish the piece off nicely. A lot of time has obviously been put into this. Very clever!
