Tilda & Co Challenge ~ Christmas is coming

This is an image sent to me by Fiona in a swap on the Docrafts site. It's always a little worrying when colouring a swapped image as there's no chance of stamping another should it all go pear-shaped!
The greeny papers were free with a magazine, can't remember which, and the red is a free download from the Canon Scrapbook site.
I heat embossed the little brads with moss green embossing powder as I didn't have any that matched the colours of the papers. It also gives an enamelled finish, which I much prefer to the original brads.

To heat emboss brads, this is what I do
1. Holding the brad in tweezers (very important as they get very hot) tap on a clear Versamark ink pad
2.Dip in the desired colour of embossing powder and shake off the excess
3. Carefully melt the powder with a Heat gun and repeat with another layer if required.
4. Allow the embossing to cool slightly before putting down and to cool completely before using on your project.

I hope that this may have been of some use to some of you!
