As Christmas is getting closer, it's time to create a few tags to have on hand for the big day.
I am thrilled to be a part of my friend Loll Thompson's special

To create my tag, I began by inking the background using Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers and Faded Jeans Distress inks. Then I laid a stencil by Tim Holtz called Frayed over the inked bkg. and gently dabbed on some water. The water lifted the ink and left a lovely impression behind.
Next, I splattered with white paint to give a snowy effect, then I also rubbed my Versamark pad along the edges and added white heat embossing.
The sentiment from Rubbernecker was stamped with black Memento ink and my MISTI and the die-cut snowflake from Lawn Fawn was done in silver to add a bit of sparkle to my tag.
The ribbon and tiny bells were from the Dollar Store.
I am adding my tag to these challenges:
Virginia's View- ADD TEXTURE
Craft Stamper- TAKE A STAMP
City Crafters- GETTING READY FOR CHRISTMAS
Happy Little Stamper- TAG

Love the background to this gorgeous tag Karen. :)
Gorgeous tag Karen. LOVE the background with the beautiful mix of blue, ghosting effect from your stencil with water, and the splattered white ... so much visual texture! And love the stitched tag with the stitched snowflake to match. The jingle bells add even more shine ... and a fun interactive element. Awesome! Thanks so much for Guest Designing for my Twelve Tags of Christmas event! xx
This is so pretty, Karen! Love the snowy splatters and stitched snowflakes! The blue jingle bells are the perfect touch!
Beautiful tag, love the little bells and fab sentiment. Thanks for joining in at City Crafter. Marina DT
So beautiful Karen. I Love your blue distress inks background, splattered some and all your pretty embellishments. I especially love your heat embossed in white edge. I have never tried that technique. It framed your tag beautifully. TFS my friend.
Adorable, Karen. So lovely ...
Have a nice weekend

Wonderful and I love the small jingle bells...
Get Hard Again Review
The word, Electrolytes, has become a household word because a lot of people are familiar with all the currently popular sports drinks, but when you are sick, sugary drinks are the last thing your body needs. How do you build up your electrolytes? Wait. What ARE electrolytes and what is so important about electrolytes?

What a beautiful blue background you created Karen - love the little bells and touches of silver!
Oh! Karen, this is gorgeous, and I love the colors and this beautiful snowflake! I agree with everything Loll said - she is amazing, and I wish I could participate this year. Perhaps next year. Looking forward to seeing more! Hugs!
This is stunning and of course it's blue :) Love that sentiment font and your lovely snowflake!
Fabulous tag, Karen! Love that watery background, and the touch of white embossing around the edges reminds me when the windows used to get iced up from the inside in the days before central heating! So glad you've added it to the Craft Stamper gallery too :)
Beautiful Karen! I love your background so much. Some of my favorite colors! Great little details for a gorgeous tag. Thanks so much for joining us for the Christmas Challenge at Happy Little Stampers! :)
Gorgeous tag, Karen, in wonderful shades of blue! Love the way you used the stencil over the background! Such fun to be part of Loll's tag event, and thanks for joining us at Happy Little Stampers!

Watercolor background is so unusual. There was a lot going for it. I love the white elements give the impression that here works frost. I look beautiful silver accessories. Beautiful tag.
