Lovely Tree Tag for Twelve Tags of Christmas

My friend Loll of Stamping with Loll

is hosting a new challenge.

The challenge is to do Mixed Media Christmas Tags.

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

Here's one that I did.

The background was in my UFO (UnFinished Objects) box.

It was made by applying ink on a craft mat, spritzing and

dragging the paper through the wet ink.

I used embossing paste and the Simon Says snow fall stencil to add some snowfall.

I stamped the tree in Mossy Meadow and 2nd & 3rd generation stamped behind.

There's a little cardinal on the tree. 

It's not quite so dark IRL.

Simon Says Monday Challenge

is walking down Memory Lane and asking for the Good Ol' Days.

In the Good Ol' Days of my childhood, there was a stand of pine trees

behind our house. I loved waking up to see the snowfall on those trees.

It was a magical place to grow up.

I hope you'll create a tag and join in.

I'm new to tags and having fun with them.

Thanks for stopping by.

Enjoy!
