Twelve Tags of Christmas with Loll and Friends

I'm so excited to be a Guest Designer at Loll's Twelve Tags of Christmas this year!

Today is the opening day and each day Loll will delight you with a tag and

has many Guest Designers for added inspiration.

I stamped and embossed this sweet little tree on a tag cut from watercolor paper.

To color, I wet the inside and dropped re-inker on the water and moved the
color around with an Aqua Painter (waterbrush).

The background tag is a piece marbled with shaving cream and alcohol inks (Pool & Clover).

I added a bit more pizzazz by dipping the edges of the largest tag in the
silver ink pad and heat embossing with silver EP.

The tree is trimmed with some stickers and a little star gem.

I hope you'll be inspired to make a mixed media tag and
share it at Loll's (Stamping with Loll).

Guest Designing for Twelve Tags of Christmas

I was so honored when Loll of Stamping with Loll, 

asked me to be a Guest Designer for her

Twelve Tags of Christmas Challenge.

It was a great excuse to order these tag dies that I'd had my eye on.

I really went for the shine!

Since Loll asked us to use mixed media on our tags,

I had an excuse to order this wonderful stencil too.

So I've stamped, heat embossed, stenciled, die cut, punched and then

 added bling for extra dimension and texture.

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

The inspiration tags by the designers will be showcased from the 4th-15th of November and the linky will remain open until the 22nd November so it gives you plenty of time to enter.

Here is a list of prizes! 

Winner - $40 gift certificate from STAMPlorations

Top Three - $20 gift certificate each from STAMPlorations

Random Draw - $20 gift certificate from Happy Little Stampers

Random Draw - One Christmas stamp set from Dee's Artsy Impressions
