They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
Good morning all.
Well yesterday didn't turn out as wet as expected but it was still pretty miserable! Managed to have a play...made a mess...got messy and not a great deal else...one of those days when nothing quite gelled. I did manage to make a tag though so I'm sharing that with you today.
I started with a manila tag and embossed it with my ARTplorations stencil (Holly Background), I then inked it with evergreen bough DI. After removing the stencil I inked with shabby shutters and twisted citron then replaced the stencil and inked the berries with festive berries. The edges were inked with ground espresso. Reindeer die from Tattered Lace, other dies from Spellbinders. Sentiment stamp was a magazine freebie, ribbons from my stash.

It's funny how some days just don't go according to plan!!!! As well, at least you actually produced something and it's a lovely tag. It's a reasonable day here in Oxfordshire and the winds have died down fortunately. I really do detest high winds! Hugs Christine xx
ReplyDeleteQuite windy here today but mild. I have been chucked out of my normal room for crafting as the Decorator is busy putting the new coving up. Can't craft so am busy catching up with everyone. Love this tag and especially the stencil. I'm due to choose some stamps and stencils in my next club pack so now know what I will be requesting. Hugs Mrs A.

Beautiful tag x
ReplyDeleteOh I do LOVE this! Had to grin about the 'nothing gelled' comment. I was working with a holly, using sprays, then pan pastels - and the piece looked pretty good. However, it DIDN'T work with what I wanted it to! So is added to the crapalanche. Your holly background looks grand with this graceful & dimensional deer posed just above the holly cluster. You are a whiz with this mixed media! Great design. TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteEvening Carol, a super Christmas tag, love the holly background.
ReplyDeleteThe weather here is just DARK!
I'm having a day like you had yesterday on the upside I am looking forwards to sitting down later and relaxing.
Hugs Erika. x
Pretty tag, great background and reindeer!
ReplyDeleteYour stenciled background is so pretty Carol. And I love the distress shading around your tag. Your reindeer is so pretty! Thanks so much for sharing your tag at my Twelve Tags of Christmas event. xx
ReplyDeleteA super tag Carol, the background looks fabulous and that reindeer die is just beautiful. Hope you have a better day tomorrow.
