Tag : Winter Morning

I love this sweet vintage image!  You can download it for free from here.  To make the snowflake stamped fragment I used Tim Holtz's technique shown here.   Normally you don't want to put adhesive behind your sanded fragment because it will cause the sanded areas to become clear again.  I was able to attach a piece of silver metallic paper to the back of the fragment by strategically adding small dots of Glossy Accents that were camouflaged by the design in the stamped snowflake and hidden behind the gem in the center.

Picket Fence Distress crackle paint was lightly painted over the embossed snowflake image to allow some of the card stock to show through. Also, a thin layer causes the crackles to be very small.

Tag Tuesday Challenge - Winter

I love snow!  As I write this the snow is falling outside, adding to the 5 inches we had Wednesday into Thursday.  So, as I was working on this tag I had the perfect inspiration just outside my window.
I was motivated to do this bright moon with a silhouetted tree and a dark winter sky by a gorgeous card I saw on-line a few weeks ago (click here to see it).  There is a tutorial on how to make the card at Operation Write Home's Stars and Stamps blog and you can see the tutorial by clicking here.  The sentiment is a verse from Robert Frost's Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.  Go to Kard Krazy for links to some great tags!

Tag Tuesday - Christmas Leftovers

It's a first - I'm actually posting my Tag Tuesday challenge tag on ... Tuesday!!!  My Christmas leftovers are as follows:  two different Christmas cards provided the blue swirly background and the sentiment;  the glittered star and silver cording came from gift packaging.  Visit Kard Krazy and check out all of the awesome tags!

Tag Tuesday Challenge #28 - purple, green and silver

I love this unusual color scheme for a Christmas tag at Kard Krazy's weekly challenge!  The colors came out different in the photo.  The purple is periwinkle and it reads very blue in the picture.  The ribbon turned out the right color and the card stock matches the ribbon but you would never know that from the photo! *sigh*
