I got a bit further behind in my tag making, but this morning I've another.... for Day 10 at Twelve Tags of Christmas. Again I have used a stamped image from my stash and watercoloured it with Distress Inks, then roughly cut it out. I die cut my tag from a panel made with Distress Oxides smooched on shiney card stock, then die cut another tag in matching card. To finish I stamped on my sentiment and attached the tags together with ribbon. Thanks for taking a peek
Along the same lines as a previous tag - I used this vibrant Brushos smooched and gold embossed off-cut from my stash, which I layered on deep red and dark yellow card to a bright green tag. I then stamped my stocking, coloured and fussy cut it. And to finish stamped and rough cut my sentiment and tied on some riboon and gold cord. Thanks for taking a peek
A few days behind now with my tags - so for Day 7 of Twleve Tags of Christmas my own creation - I've been in my leftovers stash again and found this offcut with gorgeous Christmasy colours. I created that background with Brushos - lots of water after stamping and gold heat embossing my image and then polishing off the ink once dry. Then a couple of layers to enhance those rich colours and a stamped and glitter gold embossed sentiment, and to finish topped off with a double bow. Thanks for taking a peek
I have created my own tag for Day 6 at Twelve Tags of Christmas... using one of my pre-stamped images - stamped in rose red and clear embossed and then I went over the words with sparkly silver gel pen and drew a border around the panel. Mounted my panel to my die cut tag and to finish added some gems and a bunch of tied ribbons. Thanks for taking a peek
A couple more tags for 25 Days of Christmas Tags - Day 8 .... I have cased Francesca's lovely tags (below) using a small poinsettia stamped image. For each tag I stamped the image twice - in red and green ink and fussy cut them - giving some colour to the flowers. Then stamped my sentiment on my tag and used foam tape to adhere the flowers. To finish I tied on some colour cord with silver thread. Thanks for taking a peek
Another casing of Loll's wonderful tag on Day 4 of Twelve Tags of Christmas. First I did some smooching with Distress Oxides to create a panel to use for my die cut tree. Then on my tag (die cut the top with a Spellbinder Label die), I sponged the sky line (love how Loll left that little patch of white sky) in three shades of Distress Inks and sprinkled on a few drops of water for my 'ghosting'. Next I die cut my snowy hill and stamped on my sentiment before attaching to my tag along with my tree using foam tape. Last added my Distress Ink dyed ribbon. Thanks for taking a peek
I have been enjoying a peaceful Saturday at my desk catching up with my Tags.... here is my Day 3 tag for Twelve Tags of Christmas. I have cased Loll's lovely poinsettia tag (below). Using my die cut tag I stamped the floral background and embossed in white. Then I watercoloured the poinsettias with Distress Oxides - no gorgeous vibrant medium that Loll has used. To finish I attached my vellum strip with it's white embossed sentiment and added a ribbon tie. Thanks for taking a peek
When I saw Loll's tag (below) on Day 2 of Twelve Tags of Christmas I just had to case it.... white embossed background with sponged DOX ink on the top and bottom of my die cut stitched tag. Then I stamped my holly image twice and used Twinkling H2Os to colour it and roughly cut around it. I stamped my sentiment in red DOX and used foam tape to mount the image and sentiment. Thanks for taking a peek
The gorgeous combination of aqua, white and gold of Jen's tag on Day 6 of 25 Days of Christmas Tags, caught my eye. So here is my take.... I inked the snowflake embossing folder with Peacock Feathers DOX and ran it through the Cuttlebug.... then cut out my tag. I used Distress Ink in the same colour on my die cut sentiment. Then die cut some snowflakes in shiny gold and attached these to my tag with gold gems. To finish I tied on some white ribbon with twine. I am also posting to Simon Says Wednesday challenge 'Christmas Gift Tag. Thanks for taking a peek.
Here I have my first tag for Twelve Tags of Christmas..... inspired by Susan's tag (below) ,,, Susan used Gilding Flakes so as mine have been idle for years, what a lovely chance to see how they would present as a Christmas tag. My mixed media elements are - gilding flakes, die cut stitched tag and tree - coloured with Distress Ink and white glitter for snow, stamped and embossed sentiment and to finish a gold ribbon. Thanks for taking a peek.
A couple of quick and easy tags for Day 5 of 25 Days of Christmas Tags.... I was inspired by Virginia's tags (below). Simply die cut two stars and left the die in place until I added some texture stamped with glue and sprinkled with glitter. Die cut my sentiments in black and added a tag tie.
