Holiday TAGplorations Day 4

Hello Crafty Friends!

I am just so excited about this event, that I want to remind you to join and have fun ...

STAMPlorations are hosting a festive party, Holiday TAGplorations.

It's all about TAGS and HOLIDAYS. For my reminder DT project, I choose to make another Christmas tag using their JoyfulGone Postal and Christmas Reindeer sets in combination with the largest of their CUTplorations Luggage Tag Nesting Dies.

Here it is ...


I did another spot of watercolouring with a little ink blending of the edges ...

  • stamp postage stamp frame and sleigh, both from Gone Postal, and mask
  • give tag a light blue wash with watercolour
  • remove mask, watercolour postage stamp and stamp post marks, Gone Postal
  • stamp stars, Christmas Reindeer set, and blend blue around the edges
  • stamp sentiment, Gone Postal
  • add Stickles for a border
  • stamp, watercolour, fuzzy cut large sleigh, Joyful stamp set, and attach
  • add tiny star gems
  • finish off with golden twine
Now more about the event ...
