Christmas 2014 Tag #22

Greetings Everyone!
 
Here to share my Christmas Tag #22 of 24!
 
 
 
 
 
I mixed the mica powders with Wendy Vecchi's Translucent Embossing Paste, until I got the right color. Then, I applied a layer of the mixed paste to the tag, using the Holly Bough Layering Stencil. Remove the Stencil and allow to dry.
 
 

 
I misted the tag with water, then I used Crushed Olive Distress Spray Stain and Fresh Lime Dylusion's Ink Spray. Allow to dry. I distressed the edges with Vintage Photo ink.
Background is done!

Christmas 2014 Tags #3 & #4!


Hello Everyone! 
Here's Tags #3 & #4!

If you look closely, Tag #3 has a textured background that was created with Ranger's new Texture Paste and Tim Holtz's Damask Stencil (actually named Gothic). These items are available at Creativ You & Co!
After allowing the texture paste to dry, I sprayed the "white" Distress Spray Stain all over; then sprayed the Distress Spray Stain in the Pewter on the bottom of the tag...turned it upside down and let the pewter run on to the white. After that layer was dry, I distressed the edges with a little Wendy Vecchi watering can! The embellishments I used were resin birds from Prima, and a variety of other items from my stash!
 
   

Tag #4 is a cute and fun one!

It's a accordion pocket tag!


Thanks so much for stopping by! 

Hope you come by to check out tag #5!

Thanks again and as always. ..Happy Creating!

Christmas Tags 2014- Tag #2 of 24

Hello Everyone!
 
Here is my 2nd Christmas 2014 Tag!
 
This tag's base is primarily paper from Close To My Heart's new Idea Book. 



I used Claudine Hellmuth's Multi-Matte, to adhere the chosen papers to the manila tag. Then I let each layer dry.
 I also distressed the edges in between layers, with Black Soot & Gathered Twigs Distress Inks..
 


The Poinsettia was cut using Tim Holtz's Tattered Poinsettia Die; then colored with Gold & Red Inka-Gold(shown below)

 

 
 
Happiness is when you like what you see, when you're finished; and I do!


Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out Christmas 2014 tag #2!
Hope you stop by again tomorrow...and please leave a comment; I would love to hear what you think!
 
Be Blessed and Happy Creating!
