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).


Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

Building Snowmen for Merry Monday

Good Merry Monday Morning!


Our challenge this week is brought to us by Colleen.

I had this image in my UFO box.  I had done the stamping and the sky.
I don't remember why I didn't finish it.
I guess I knew I'd be needing it for Merry Monday this week!

So I colored the scene by scribbling markers on my palette (a piece of
laminated, white cardstock) and picking up the color with a
Blender Pen.

After it was all colored up, I used Dazzling Details quite liberally
over the scene.  Doesn't it look chilly?

Unfortunately the piece has quite a wave from all that dazzle.
I've mounted it on a piece of fun foam.  It helps but it's still waving a bit.

What's your favorite winter activity?

Hope to see it at Merry Monday!

and my snippets of design piece and black will take me over to
where there are always some fun activities going on!


Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

I love the copper foil from Stampin' Up!
