12 Tags of Xmas: Tag #4

Here's my fourth tag for The Funkie Junkie's (a.k.a. Linda's) 12 Tags of Xmas:


Here's Linda's inspirational tag:
I pulled a few things from Linda's tag, including the snow gradient, the silhouettes, shabby ribbon, bells.  In hindsight, I wish I would have made the sentiment black as well-- that may change...

Supplies and notes:
  • Tag base is an embossed piece of beige cardstock from my friend Pia
  • Raised parts of tag inked with Versamark the embossed with Recollections in Snow; edges embossed in this way as well.
  • Trees (by Tim Holtz) diecut from some glittery scraps from DCWV
  • The hillside was ripped from the same DCWV scraps
  • The kids on the sled are also from Pia... I came across them as I was looking for that fab embossed background.  Thank you, Pia!
  • The thick seam binding is from my stash; I incorporated text to my project by stamping Tim's Ledger Script with Tim's MM Palette in Vintage Photo to the ribbon.  It bled a little, but I am totally okay with it.
  • The bells are from some holiday trim I bought recently.  I pinned them on with a Paper Studio safety pin and added a typed sentiment which I typed with my old typewriter on old typewriter paper
  • Sequins added
I'd also like to add this to the HLS Xmas challenge:

  2. You've used some of my favorite items here, and it's inspiring to see how they can be used. Especially for tags as I struggle making those, and this year, as previous years, I've promised myself to make every gift tag myself.

  5. That silhouette is magical and looks fantastic in black against the lovely vintage hues of the background. I live in Florida now but I grew up in upstate NY in the snow belt so it brings back bittersweet childhood memories. The falling snow and pine trees give it a nostalgic wintery feel. Beautifully done, Mimi!

    Hugs,
    Linda
