25 Days of Christmas Tags

Hi there,

STAMPlorations is joining the 25 Days of Christmas Tags Event and this is my creation:

• stamp one of the STAMPlorations Sketchy Yule Trees with Memento Tuxedo Black and color the image with Delta, Touch Twin Brush and Copic Markers
• add the baubles using different colors of Pearl Makers
• cut out the largest and the smallest of the CUTplorations Manila Tags from watercolor paper
• create a background using Distress Paints (Evergreen Bough, Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers, Spun Sugar)
• apply Prima Marketing Texture Paste Platinum Crackle through the ARTplorations Oh my Stars! Mini stencil and let the baubles and the stars dry thoroughly
• stamp the "TO:" using the STAMPlorations Sketchy Alphabet set and Versafine Onyx Black
• grunge up the edges of the tags with a black Stabilo All pencil and a wet watercolor brush
• add splatters with Finetec Mica Watercolors Moon Gold
• cut out a little star from glitter paper and add it to the top of the Christmas Tree
• add some more texture by stamping the script from the STAMPlorations Mixed Media Elements set with Archival Ink Watering Can
• dye a piece of torn seam binding with Distress Stains (Peacock Feathers, Broken China) and thread the strands through the holes of the tags

I hope you got inspired.

Yours,
