tag inspired by week 5 at the funkie Junkie

Good morning peeps! I hope I'm asleep when this blog post goes live as I will have had an evening out at friends last night - and I'm not driving so a lie in will definitely be called for.

I've got a tag to share with you today inspired by week 5 of the 12 tags of christmas over at the Funky Junkie sponsored by the funkie junkie boutique. This is my first year of entering the challenge but I must say I'm loving every minute of it. This is what I did:





My tag includes background paper from the LOTV winter paper pad and the stamp is a Tim Holtz one simply stamped in sepia archival. I've mounted this onto diecut and torn cardboard to reveal the corrugation. The deer is also a Tim Holtz die and the stars are metal stars . I've used distress ink around the edges of the tag - walnut stain I think - and also added lace. The tag is a size 10 tag.

I'd like to enter this tag into the following challenges:
