Joyful Christmas Tag

Hello!

I was in a Christmas kind of mood.  I made a tag that I will enter into the Challenges at Cheery Lynn, Vintage and Simon Says Monday, Powder Power.

 

I used the largest die from the MFT Traditional Stitched Tags.  I thought that the Bottle Brush stamps from the Papertrey Ink stamp set,  Joyful Christmas would make for a lovely Vintage tag.  Trees stamped in Dove Gray, Pear Pizzazz and Pink Pirouette inks.  I sponged Antique Linen ink on all die cuts, to give them an aged look.  Cheery Lynn die, Holly Leaf 4.  Spellbinders Ribbon Banner die for my sentiment. 

 

 

 

My Seam Binding Ribbon was colored using a pale pink Copic Marker, I then soaked it in water and then dried it with my heat gun, this gives it a bit of pucker.  Trees were covered with a Wink Of Stella Clear Glitter Pen.  I also 'painted' on some Pearl Ex Pigment Powders in  Duo Green-Yellow and Flamingo Pink on my Holly and Berries.  The pink powder colored my white mini pearls too.

 

Buttons, Twine, Lace and Adhesive Pearls for accents. 

 

A FUN Christmas Tag to create!

 

Thanks for coming by!

 

Enjoy~~
