24 Days of Christmas Event - Day 12

Hi ya everyone!  I'm so excited to celebrate the 24 days of Christmas with the Whimsy team and YOU.  We are on day 12 and if you've missed the other days and you need to know the details, just check out THIS POST.  There is a GRAND PRIZE and spot prizes, so make sure to join the fun!

Today, I'm using the adorable Lissy's Little Light from Elisabeth Bell.  I love this image, so much in fact, I made two tags to share.  Both use the same image but really have different looks once on a tag.  First up is Merry & Bright.
I used a number of red and green Copics for her outfit.  I used my Silhouette to cut the tag this time and paired with Echo Park papers.  The sparkly Thicker letters don't stand out that well but added such a pretty touch I couldn't help it!
For the second, Peace on Earth, I wanted to subdue my colors a bit and went for more of a shabby chic look.  The design is very similar but you can see with one image how you can get two very different projects. 

I think you might have my letter figured out by now, but just in case:


We will also be running some fun SPOT PRIZES throughout
the entire event.  The prizes could be hidden here on the Whimsy blog
or on our design team member's blogs, so be sure to 
leave a comment my blog post HERE and on the Whimsy blog  to be in with a chance to win!
Be sure to check back here tomorrow for more Christmas Inspiration and to collect your next letter!

  8. So, so pretty! I was wondering, does the Silhouette cut out the stamps too? I've noticed that everyone that uses one has such beautifully cut images, and I was wondering whether the machine does that, or whether the people in question are all simply gifted with a pair of scissors! lol. x
