Christmas Tag- The Flower Challenge

Good Morning.

We are having such fun this month playing at 

The Flower Challenge.

Our theme this month is:

ANYTHING BUT A CARD

I decide to make a tag for the holidays using a piece of leftover inked paper.

To create my piece, I spread some Gesso over a stencil onto my cardstock and let dry.

Next, using an inking sponge, I rubbed Distress inks over the dry Gesso to reveal the pattern left behind by the stencil.

I die-cut the tag using a stitched die from MFT then placed the piece into my Misti to stamp the sentiment.

I stamped the script from Penny Black in the background to add interest.

Onto the flower....I just picked up this Winter Flowers set from SSS.  I love the artsy look of the flower and wanted to use it on my tag.  First I stamped it with Versamark and white heat embossed it.

Next, I sprinkled some blue and purple Brushos over the piece and sprayed with water to activate the powdered ink.  When it was dry, I fussy cut it out and pop dot mounted it over my background.

I added a ribbon and a blue brad to finish it all off.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Hope you holiday preparations are going well.
