Yippee, It's Almost Christmas

Good Morning, I have a quick post for this week's ABC Christmas Challenge to share with you this week. We have reached the letter Y, just a few more weeks to go.

I have been watching the 12 Tags of Christmas over on the Tim Holtz Blog and have decided to have a go at creating a tag of my own.


As I don't yet have any of the Distress Stains I have pulled out my Distress Inks and aged this tag in various shades of blue and then flicked the whole thing with a bit of water.  I have then stamped on all of my images and heat embossed the angel image using a blue metallic embossing powder which has a really pretty shimmer IRL.

I inked some ribbon to match and added a charm with some tinsel wire. The silver snowflakes are peel off stickers and the acrylic snowflake has been accented with flower soft to give it the look of real snow.

I hope that you will join us. I look forward to seeing your Christmas Creations. Be sure to pop over to the ABC Christmas Challenge Blog and see the rest of the wonderful DT creations.
