The branches in the background is black paste forced through a brass stencil and sprinkled with black glitter. The background is a metallic paper sprayed with Glimmer Mist. Isn't this vamp so sexy with her red lips and Santa hat? And the flakes are from the kid's section at Mike's!
This is my interpretation of the challenge "Jokers" found on the web : Sunday Post Card Art.

This is my entry to the Yuletide Gothic Arch Contest. 
Today I cleaned off my table top-all of it. I use an old enamel kitchen work table-I love it. I found it in a junk shop in Lehigh Co., PA more than 25 years ago-I paid $20 for it. It has a beautiful red pattern on the top that I never see. So today I plowed it off and scrubbed it clean. In the mean time I found this lovely sheet of photos from ArtChix-they are an odd size 1.5 inches-a little too large for an inchie. So I made them into Twinchies. There was a nice transparency too. So here is what came of cleaning my table. Heaven knows what I would find if I cleaned the whole room!
Here is my unmounted stamp storage system from Little Monkeys, I have 6 boxes and need at least 7! I have embellished mine with the inchies that I trade for-these are looking pretty cool in my studio-I just have to find somewhere to display them so they face forward-so I can see my collection. You can find the storage system here:Little Monkeys.
I love making these peculiar little dolls-this one I tried to use up my favorite Basic Grey Wassail paper for my version of a Christmas angel TFL.
Fortunately I have the kind of neighbors who don't ask too many questions when they see me kneeling out on my deck at 10am on a Sunday morning in my new red snowflake jammies-photographing little bits of paper. Here are my first 8 Twinchies for Dena-bean88's Tastefully Nude swap over on SCS. I believe most of these images are from a collage sheet I got over on Altered Pages. I spent a lot of time trying out inking techniques on the backgrounds-sometimes putting so much ink on the white paper that it was limp! TFL
I was sad that I had no more Christmas ATCs to make. I wanted to use more of the lovely Wassail papers from Basic Grey and my new colors of Glimmer Mist. I also wanted to get back to trying to alter books and journal. I decided that as this blank board book from Alpha Stamps had exactly 12 pages to it-I would do the 12 Days of Christmas through out the holiday season. I tried tons of techniques on this cover alone. I tried printing with the Glimmer screens-wish you could see that in the photo. I altered the partridge with colored pencils and white pen. I Need some smaller leaves around the partridge's feet-but I have time to find those. It doesn't have to be perfect-it's for me. So I can tweak and fuss with it as long as I want! TFL
