Merry Christmas Kit

Over at Penny Black @ Allsorts we have been having a little bit of fun, Brenda sent us all a couple of kits out and the idea is that the whole team receive the same things and we then see how everyone has interpretated their kit. One kit is "A Little Bit Of Vintage" which we did in October, and the other is "Merry Christmas". So here is the second kit:-

Some of the papers vary but all do come from the same paper pack which is from Echo Park. So this is what I have come up with, and as you can see we all choose our own Penny Black stamp to use.

The red round things are Die cut swirls to make roses with, I have never done these before so I was a bit nervous doing these. The only thing I added that wasn't in the kit was my trusted glamour dust, pearls for the centre of the flowers and a stamped image, I had so much fun doing this challenge. Please pop over to the challenge blog to see the rest of the teams creations using the kits. They are fantastic.

This is also for the following challenges:-
1. CES Challenges - challenge # 61 - Roses & Ribbons
2. Stamptacular Sunday - challenge # 138 - Punch It
3. Truly Scrumptious - challenge 70 - Christmas with vintage or pearls (I did both, vintage papers and pearls in my roses)
4. Fab 'N' Funky - challenge # 99 - Baby It's Cold Outside


Recipe:-
Stamps - Penny black Hand Mailed 4014k,
Papers - Echo Park,
Colouring Mediums - Promarkers,
Embellishments - Holly Die cuts, pins, pearls, ribbon, rose swirl Die Cuts, red nailheads,
