Twelve Tags of Christmas

Hello and Welcome.

I am just thrilled to be a part of Loll Thompson's 

12 Tags of Christmas

This is day seven, so if you haven't seen the rest of the tags this week you need to go check them out.

You will be so inspired!  There are prizes too!

So for this event, you must create a tag any size or shape and it must be a mixed media Christmas tag  which includes stamping, plus two mixed media elements (techniques or products).

So onto what I did for my tag.

For the base of my tag, I used my Woodgrain Tutorial that so many of you have used in the past.  It is a fun way to create a wood looking background with readily available supplies.  I went for blue of course!

(a step by step tutorial can be found on my blog by clicking the above link)

I used a tag die to cut out my tag shape then started added the details.

To add some sparkle to the woodgrain, I stamped some script randomly and embossed it with silver powder.  I added a snowy feel by splattering white acrylic paint all over as well.

Next, I die-cut the snowflakes leaving one white then silver embossing the smaller one.  I layered them then added a drop of blue Nuvo to add interest and pull up the blue of the base.

I die-cut the 'be jolly' and glued it over a piece of silver ribbon along the bottom.  

I cut a blue base to give it more stability then added silver twine and a white bow.

I hope you will be much inspired and come and play along with us.

These tags are like little treasures.
