{Mixed Media Tutorial} Christmas Tag by Carol
Hi everyone, Carol here today in full on Christmas mode! I've got a tag to share with you...I do hope you enjoy the tutorial.
I started with a piece of waste card I'd been using to roll off excess paint from my stencils from another project.
Using the largest die I cut my tag from the Luggage Tags Nesting Dies set....I do love the shape of these :)
Then I started adding some background texture using the Holly Background Mini stencil with some gel medium.
Once dry, I used Sparkle Medium through the Christmas Trees Mini stencil - letting the stencil overhang the tag slightly.
Once dry I added some stamping detail using the Vignette Christmas Block stamp set, then heat embossed with white detail EP,
I then used some purple distressed ink to add a bit more colour detail, which made the holly background pop. A few strands of fibres were then used to finish the tag off.
That's all from me this month, I'll catch you again in November!
