• create a background on watercolor paper using Distress Inks (Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky, Weathered Wood, Shaded Lilac) and pearlized water
• stamp snowflakes from Lawn Fawn Winter in the Park with Versamark and heat-emboss with WOW! White Puff Ultra High embossing powder
• color Gerda Steiner Designs Owl wish you a Merry Christmas with Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor and Zest-it
• use Wink of Stella Clear and White Glitter on the cap, Wink of Stella Clear Glitter and Glossy Accents on the baubles and Gelly Roll Stardust Clear on the snow on the branch
• tie a bow around the panel with Hemptique Hemp Cord White
• use kraft cardstock as a base and stamp the border with Versamark using Technique Tuesday In Stitches and heat-emboss with WOW! Metallic Silver embossing powder

Hello,

today, I would like to show you this cute little Christmas tag:

• stamp the fox from Avery Elle More Stories with Versafine Onyx Black on white cardstock and color the image with Prismacolor Colored Pencils and Zest-it; I used warm greys to make it look more like an arctic fox
• cut a tag from watercolor paper
• draw a cable with a black PITT Artist Pen for the lights to hang on; stamp the light bulbs from Paper Smooches Hang ups with Versafine Onyx Black; color the light bulbs with Prismacolor Colored Pencils and Zest-it
• mask off the light bulbs with Eclipse Tape and create a background using Distress Inks (Tumbled Glass, Milled Lavdender, Weathered Wood)
• cut a slope from watercolor paper and color it with Distress Inks (Tumbled Glass, Iced Spruce); since I wanted to create a stitched border, I used a perforation tool to achieve that look
• stamp the sentiment from Avery Elle Be Jolly with Versamark and heat-emboss with Zing! Frost embossing powder; add Distress Glitter (Clear Rock Candy) at the top the hill
• stamp some snowflakes from the same Be Jolly stamp set with Delicata Silvery Shimmer
• add Glossy Accents to the light bulbs and Lawn Fawn Silver Sparkle twine to the hole of the tag
