Santa comes tonight!

It's starting to get very exciting isn't it!! I can't wait to watch my kids in the morning - they're going to be so excited!!

I have one last entry to share before I take a break for a few days over Christmas. :)

Today's entry was sent in by Ellie Knol from The Netherlands:


Ellie used stamps from Inkadinkado (Snowflakes A-plenty #98397) and an unknown text stamp.

Ellie has kindly shared a tutorial for us!

From Ellie:

Step 1: Get hold of cardstock with a cut-out design. Here I used a second-hand Christmas card:


For it not to move around, spray the back of it with glue spray (which is non-permament) and let it dry thoroughly. This mask can be used over and over again.


Step 2: Use it as a mask and sponge over it, with one or more colors distress inks:


You can also sponge it with clear embossing and heat-emboss it with clear embossing powder as a resist. On the card I used both ways. After the sponging I ironed the clear embossing off the CS with scrap paper.

Awesome work Ellie!

Do you think Santa will leave a present here on the blog......?
