CDACPC6

As I've made all the Christmas cards I need for myself I thought I'd set to and make some tags. I bought these super sized tags at the SECC recently and as they're really smooth they're great for inky techniques.


Talk about cutting things fine, I'd forgotten all about this the CDACPC6 which ends in about 7 hours time! Luckily I'd inked the tag earlier today and left it to flatten so was able to put this together quite quickly! Tag is stamped and embossed with a snowflake , then inked with different shades of blue DI  and finally over stamped with a different snowflake stamp (ancient stamp from QVC)  in the darkest blue. Image is from Designed 2 Delight and has been coloured with distress inks and mounted 3d. Tag is finished with some recently acquired bakers twine and a gorgeous blue snowflake ribbon bow.

    This is really gorgeous, Carol. I can imagine it being removed very carefully and stored as a keepsake. Maybe it will even be hung on the recipient's tree.
    Thanks for playing at Ellephantastic Challenges this month.
    Blessings,

    Hi Carol. Lovely! Wow, that bear is going to slip and slide right off your paper!!! I love your treatment of the background paper. It makes it really look like a hill. Brilliant doing it with that type of stamp. Just brilliant. The coloring is great and the ribbon treatment at the top is really nice with the silver. Carol, good luck in the challenges, and of course, with us at Forever Friends. Divine Love and see you again, Samara
