Another distress paint smooshed tag. I've used embossing paste through the Christmas Reindeer stencil, then added gold EP and heat embossed. I've used a stamp from Mixed Media Elements around the edges. Sentiment from the Vignette: Christmas Block set. The bell is recycled from some well known chocolate! Ribbon, fibres, gem and stickles from my stash.

Smoothing at its best! Wonderful technique and festive tag you have created. That deer is delightful and the bell is icing on the cake. The border adds creative structure and awesome sauceness.
