Masculine Christmas Tag

Here's another Mixed Media* Christmas Tag for 

Loll's Twelve Tags of Christmas Challenge

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

I stamped my French Script stamp on Very Vanilla with Sahara Sand ink

and sponged lightly with some more Sahara Sand.

The forest was stamped with Always Artichoke 

with a little stamp from Inkadinkado.

Then I die cut the design with an Anytime Stitched Tag Die.

The background was made by cutting a piece of Crumb Cake 1/4" larger than the tag.

I slipped the top of the rectangle behind a circle die and cut the arc for the top.

(LOL, Don't ask me to demonstrate this. I'm not sure I could ever do it again.)

The little deer was cut from a piece of backed burlap that Loll gifted me with.

Thank you, Loll!

The die is a NBUS (Never Before Used Schtuff) from Sizzix.

A piece of jute ties it all off.

So I stamped, sponged, die cut/embossed and used burlap and jute for texture.

Hope you'll be inspired to make a tag and join in Loll's challenge.

There's a lot of inspiration from Loll, her Guests Designers

and the participants.

What a wonderful gallery.

So much inspiration!

So glad you stopped by.

Enjoy!
