Santa Tag

Here's another tag for

I had lots of fun with this one!


Does Santa look a little worried?

LOL, it's hard to get those eyes just right!

The background was made by putting drops of re-inker and Frost White paint
on an open cellophane bag, closing it and smooshing the colors around.

The Frost White paint gives it a shimmer that doesn't show up well in the photo.

The punched, dry embossed and sponged Santa is a shameful CASE of my friend and
teammate at Merry Monday, Sue Joyce.
Thanks for the inspiration, Sue!

The sentiment is stamped and heat embossed.

I have stamps, ink, dry embossing, glitter, smoosh, punching and tinsel.

It more than qualifies for mixed media.

 For Loll's event, Mixed Media is defined as stamps + ink, plus two other elements which add texture and/or dimension.

An added bonus for this tag is that the Santa is double sided and can be
removed to use as a tree ornament. 

I've made a Santa for each of my grandchildren to hang on their tree.

I'll join in with



and




Do check out Loll's Challenge.

There's so many pretty tags in the gallery and the guest designers have
outdone themselves with their inspiration each day.

Thanks for stopping by.

Enjoy!

Santa does look a little worried. As he should, his big is coming up real soon. You've really gone to town on the tags this year.
