Tim Holtz's 12 days of Christmas ...tag 5

I am a little behind on the tags ... day 2 is almost finished, day 3 not started, day 4 has the base done ... both Ellie and myself have bee poorly over the weekend so playing has been limited.

However its Day 5 with another fab tag and technique I just had to try!!
 And here is my take on it ... I didn't have many of the supplies :(
 I followed Tim's inking technique on a transparency sheet, but used a holly stamp from Minin Holidays 3 and then used a mix of Holly branch and a sizzix holly die to create a "wreath" ... I'm not good at flower arranging!!  We usually hang a small holly branch on our front door, cut straight from the tree ... messy but unique, so here's my messy but unique holly!  I inked up the holly leaves and stickled them, purely as it is hailing and trying to snow here today.

Brilliant tag Cathy. That holly is beautifully arranged - you can do my flower arranging any day!
I didn't have many of the items for my tag either but, well, it's all about 'having a go' isn't it. Your effort is superb.
Thanks for joining us at the Colour Create Challenge.
