Good morning everyone, I hope you’re going to join in with the challenge over at Lili’s Little Fairies
It’s an easy one this week …
‘ANYTHING GOES’
***
I’ve been playing around making tags, this is one I did using Mr Snowman which is one of our older stamps but still very popular
I stamped him and then cut his top half using a circular nestie as I didn’t want the full image. He’s coloured with distress inks, I’ve only had a couple of goes at this and wish I had more time to practice because I like the painted effect rather than the markers
The background was done using Stampers Anonymous snowflakes stamped randomly in distress ink, then I embossed over the whole area with a clear powder to make it shiny. I did the same for the backing circles but this time stamping the snowflakes in silver on dark card although you can’t really see them on the picture
The greeting is from the Christmas Circular Sentiments set, I tied the seam binding through the circles but didn’t stick them together so you can see the snowflakes on the one underneath
The lace and seam binding are from The Ribbon Girl and then it’s finished with a few dots of stickles (can’t resist!)
