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:

    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.

    I truly adore this tag! That stamp (which you have as a die cut) is my all time favorite! Mine is Character Constructions. You really went in a delightful direction with this one. Hugs, Autumn

    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
