Loll's Twelve Tags of Christmas

is winding down.

I had to get one last tag in.

Loll, you have inspired me!

We'll be doing this tag in the next Papercrafting class.

I think I'm stretching the mixed media this time.

but...

I've stamped and embossed, punched, die cut, added twine and ribbon.

There's texture on the foiled vellum and mitten cuffs.

again I'll add this to

25 Days of Christmas Tags

Inspired by Tracey's tag on Day 11

Thanks for the inspiration, Tracey!

Dashing Through the Snow

...in a one horse open sleigh.

This is a tag adaptation from one of my Christmas Card Classes.

I'm going to make one last (maybe) entry into

Thanks so much for this challenge, Loll, and for all the

inspiration and encouragement.

I'm finally comfortable with mixed media.

And look what I found at the thrift store to show off all my tags..

Triple Tag

Lots of shine in this tag.

So the camera went blurry.

Oh, well...

I've stenciled some gold embossing cream.

Then I die cut some Poppystamps tags and sprayed 

the little one with gold mist smooshing

the joy part in the over spray.

While I was waiting for everything to dry, I sponged the edges of 

a punched bit of holly and shaped it with a stylus.

A few tiny circles punched from a snippet of red provided berries.

It's all tied together with some gold ribbon that's been hanging around

for years.

Gingerbread Boy Tag

I've been feeding my tag addiction with

GINGERBREAD!

I've done the recipe on the computer and printed it on 

some ancient parchment paper from my stash.

I cut it to fit a cardstock tag, adhered it and did 

some distressing and stamped some splotches

for good measure.  (That's the way my recipe book looks.)

The Gingerbread Boy was stamped on

Baked Brown Sugar cardstock

and embossed.

I colored the buttons with a Copic Marker

and covered with Crystal Effects.

I dotted the eyes with a brown Copic Marker

and his bow tie with green.

The little strip at the bottom is dry embossed with hearts.

I couldn't get them to show up in the photo.

Some burlap twine finishes the tag off.

I'm going to join in at 

Loll's Twelve Tags of Christmas Challenge

again.
