Hello. Today, I am sharing a tag created for The 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2017 – Day 12 for which Lawn Fawn was the guest. All of the inspiration tags were terrific! My tag was most influenced by those shown by Elena Roussakis and Lindsey M-p.
I stamped the Toboggan Together deer images on Arches Hot Press Watercolor Paper with VersaFine and colored them with Kuretake Gansai Tambi Dark Brown (47), Kuretake Gansai Tambi Brown (46) and Kuretake Gansai Tambi Light Brown (44).
Once dry, I cut the images with their corresponding dies. I colored Canson Watercolor Paper with Broken China Distress Oxide ink and Distress Oxide Lucky Clover ink. Once the paper was dry, I cut the tag background from the blue with the largest die in the Stitched Circle Tags set. I cut the Forest Border from the green. I cut the snow banks using the Stitched Hillside Backdrop Landscape die, which I also cut with the largest die in the Stitched Circle Tags set. I heat-embossed the Merry Messages sentiment with Geranium Red embossing powder.
I used Peppermint twine to finish off the tag. For such a simple tag, there were a lot of steps! The best part – this tag is already adorning a wrapped gift!
Supplies:
Sweet tag, Jean – just love your winter scene with the pair of deer!!
I love these deer, and almost used them instead of my skating penguin. Your colouring is great and little scene adorable! Glad I could be part of your inspiration!
Hello again, Jean! I saw these little darlings at IG… so happy you landed on my list! Such a sweet little scene – brings me back to the scene in Bambi when he tries to ‘skate’ with Thumper!
Thanks for playing Tag with us at 25 Days this year!
Merry Christmas…
