Christmas Kickstart #32




I am so excited today to be Guest Designing for the Christmas Kickstart Challenge #32!
The challenge is Care to Tag Along? Could it be any more fitting for my guest design?

 

I started off by ink blending a panel of Bristol Smooth cardstock with Tumbled Glass and Chipped Sapphire. I flicked some water over the panel and picked up some of the colour with paper towel then I splattered the panel with white acrylic paint to create a snowy background. Once dry the panel was die cut with Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle. 

A sentiment from Pretty Pink Posh Christmas Friends Stamps was white embossed at the top. I stamped the snowman from Pretty Pink Posh Holiday Signs Stamps and coloured him with Copic markers, an easy colouring job. Then I cut him out with the co-ordinating Holidays Signs Dies. I put him onto a red tag cut from the Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Tag Dies with foam tape. I topped off the tag using my signature finish by tying gold cord with gold jingle bells.

Thank you for stopping in today and I hope that you join me this month and create a Christmas card with a tag on it over at the Christmas Kickstart Challenge blog. 

See you there!

Gorgeous background, the white flicks are perfect (mine globs) The snowman tag is super cute. fab. card. I love your 25 tags of Christmas and Lindsey pushes me into it every year, I don't even use tags but join in anyway. last year it occured to me that I can give my friends (lunch bunch, retirees, coffee group) a tag, since I don't have enough cards to give them all a card and they loved them last year. awesome. most hung them on the tree for an ornament. Thanks for hosting the challenge and congrats on a guest spot on Jo's challenge I love it.
