well I hope everyone is safe and dry with all this awful weather around..
sorry for the flurry of posts..
and thanks to everyone who takes the time to follow my journey
and stop by and leave comments
I truly appreciate it!
but I am playing catch up as was a late starter
with Linda aka the funkie junkies fab 12 tags of Christmas...
so all the details are here..
all you have to do is make a tag for each of the 12 inspired
by something from Linda's wonderful tag..saying what it is
and link it up..
then if you manage all 12
there are some fab prizes sponsored by Linda's wonderful shop
so Linda's tag no 6 is here
and here is mine :
for this tag
I stuck to my favourite blues, and iced spruce..
and was inspired by the tree and the embossed finish on the clock..
which I used on my snowflakes..
I liked the text background so covered my tag in tissue wrap.
and lashings of picket fence..
and a layer of thin rock candy crackle paint
note to self: remember to stick the text up the right way next time!!!!
now the tree was cut, coloured and
shh I had to cover it on rock candy distress glitter didn't I
oops and some fell on the flowers!!!
then I added snowflakes, inked
and embossed
then liquid pearl and fab winter foliage added for centres..
finally
a flower ..cant help myself!
and some seam binding coloured with DI
have a fun and inky day!
I am entering this for the following competitions:

I can almost hear this one crunch from here!!! Love the liberal use of rock candy and glitter on this. Makes it look almost edible. Hugs, Buttons x
ReplyDeleteI'm first today! Deliciously frosty and gorgeous Trace. I love the subtle sparkle. Your flower is wonderful and all the embossing is right up my street!

Lovely tag Trace and no-one would have noticed the upside down writing if you hadn't 'fessed up! Love all the crunchiness and sparkle on this one.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous - I sure do hope Linda does this next year cause I definitely want to play. I think all the best artist are doing this challenge. I love Linda, she is the nicest lady and her shop is wonderful. Trace, I really love following you - your art work does excite me.
