So today I want to share with you my tag for the latest 12-tags-of-christmas challenge from Linda over at the thefunkiejunkie boutique who are sponsoring this challenge. Linda's tag was beautiful as always and I was inspired by the snowflakes. This is what I did.
Firstly I used versamark through the TH snowflake layering stencil - I then added white wow powder and heat set. next step was to add blue DI to create the rest of the background. I used tumbled glass, salty ocean and blueprint sketch.
Next I used kraft card to cut the snowflake using a TH die and used the accompanying embossing folder to emboss it. Then I swept lightly over the top with a chipped sapphire DI pad. Then I added the words cut with dies from TH and also added the lace. I would like to enter this into
Here's what was going on in my house the last few days of last week - I was having my open fire
changed for a log burner
It may not look much but its so much safer - plus I have now removed the fireguard that Shaun made to protect the girls from the fire/hearth when they were learning to walk. It is a shame to lose that but my girls not longer need it. I now need to dismantle it and then I'll be able to burn it! I think Shaun would very much approve! Can't wait for the decorator!!!

Gorgeous tag Rachel, can see why you want the decorator to come but will be worth the wait at least you are all safe and warm
ReplyDeleteI love your gorgeous tag Rachel. Also love your new log burner and have to agree they are much safer than the good old open fire. The decorating is still very much ongoing in our house at the moment, but at least our bedroom is finished and the new furniture in, worth waiting for. Looking forward to seeing what you did at the weekend.

Another fabulous tag Rachel, love how the snow flake came out. Your new fire place looks very cosy too! Well done you!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant "Tag" love it.
ReplyDeleteI keep saying we should change the open fire for a Log Burner.
However I love to sit and watch the flames.
Have a good day

A beautiful tag Rachel. Love the colours on the background and I really like the snowflake, so unusual die-cut from Kraft card. You won't know yourself when the decorators are finished. Log burners are so much cleaner than an open fire, easy to light and the heat stays in the room and does not disappear up the chimney ! Plus you know it will be safe if you have to go out. Best thing we ever did lol! Have a good week.

This is so lovely, Rachel. The blues you used make such a pretty background and I love the addition of kraft for the snowflakes and sentiment. I really like the way you used the Holiday Words: Block too. Another wonderful tag!
