A nice early post to get the weekend started ...... lots to do today.
I'm playing catch up with this year's 12 Tags of Christmas with Loll & Friends event ......
It's Tag number 10 this morning ...... I'm nearly there
This cute little tag was made using leftover bits ..... I haven't had time to clear my desk this week so there's stuff everywhere!
The tag is one I rescued from earlier in the week ..... things didn't go according to plan, I didn't like the bottom of it but I didn't want to throw the whole thing away, so I chopped it down ....... I knew the top would come in handy
The flower is made using the smaller layers from the Tim Holtz Tattered Poinsettia die. I've been cutting a whole bunch of these for a workshop coming up soon ...... I need more of the larger ones than the small so they're piling up on my desk. By the time I've finished that project I'll never want to see a poinsettia again ..... but that.s another story!
They've been cut from smooth watercolour card, inked around the edges with Fired Brick Distress Ink, and then I spritzed them with Perfect Pearls and left them to dry. I love how the ink has blended over the card and mixed with the Perfect Pearls ..... looks really pretty.
Once it was all dry I added some extra foliage behind ...... found in my box of many left over die cut bits, and attached a jingle bell to the centre.
The sentiment is from Stampin Up's Tin of Tags ....... a great little stamp set designed for tags, but not just Christmas ones so you can use it all year round
Well ..... only 2 more tags to go. Time to get out of my PJs and get on with the day. I'll be back later with Tag number 11 ..... see you then!
Thanks for popping by ..... enjoy the rest of your day
Cheerio until next time
