Tags!!

I've been playing a little bit of catch up with Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas ... Ellie and myself being sick sucuppered day 3 and 4!!  And I am struggling getting my lead round day 6 ... tonight's little project I hink, once I have assesmbled tag 4 that is!!

Anyway ...

 Here is Day 3's tag ... not made exactly like TRim's as I don't use reinkers, so I inked directly onto the stamp and prayed!!!  It worked I think!!  I used holly leaves created making tag 7 (I am not doing them in order at all!!) and some flat backed pearls to create the embellishment.  The seam binding i stained using glimmer mist.

 Day 7's tag ... I love the effect of alcohol inks and glassine paper so loved making these holly leaves.  Again a bit of improvisation on the ghosting ... different stamps used, but it works!  The sentiment is a Stempelglede one.

And finally a tag I mage using the inspiration from a tag I made ages ago ... used the same papers and some of the same type of embellieshments.

 The grungeboard heart was diecut and painted ages ago ... and then I decided a copper one would be better so didn't use it!!  I painted the charm with picket fence crackle paint, added a Stempleglede stamp and used DIs to colur the leaves in.  A bit of distressing and some sparkle to finish.  The Christmas stamp is part of a SU sentiment.
