well here I am again with another crafty offering......I have missed Sunday stampers hosted by the super talented Hels for too long and so here I am with an offering...
I started with my super favourite a blank tag, crackle paint medium and distress inks, now that makes for a happy girl! I started by painting the tag with emulsion, leaving to dry and painting with crackle medium, then about 30 mins later painting with cream emulsion and leaving to do its magic! once dry I inked with iced spruce and tumbled glass DI. I love the new winter colours and iced spruce is just too yummy!!!
Once dry I added a piece of tissue wrap from The one and only, he is to be revered Tim Holtz......I coloured using picket fence stain and then when dry iced spruce.I glued onto left of tag using micro glue dots..added some gathered twigs DI around edge and stamped a pine needle stamp from Creative expressions around edge and on corner of tag.
You still with me?!!! What a waffler I am becoming!!!Who am I kidding, I always am and will always be..its just me!The pine tree was cut from a piece of card embossed with script folder and then the tree cut, it was then coloured using evergreen bough DI and some rock candy blobbed on and glitter sprinkled in.When dry I splodged, being a very technical term, some white paint over to hopefully make it look snowy?!
Finally the sentiment was stamped, coloured with DI and then rock candy applied and left to dry.
I am entering this for the following competitions:

ReplyDeleteHi Trace, the tree looks fab with the copper highlights, loving Iced Spruce too (my fav of them all), I love the crackle effect over the sentiment too.
ReplyDeleteHi Trace. Thanks for stopping by my blog for Anything Goes. I enjoy their challenges a lot, and the DT is always generous in commenting. That's what brought me here. I would love to follow you, and have you follow me. Please let me know if you're interested, and stop back by my blog.
