12 Tags of 2016 Remix - December

WOW...it's the last Tim tag of the year. I can't believe how it's flown by. Here is my December take on Tim's 12 Tags of 2016 Remix, a mash up of May, 2014 (see mine here but so not a fav) and December, 2015 (mine here and a fav). I have thoroughly enjoy the whole remix and revisiting of techniques and ideas. Thank you Tim and all the participants for the inspiration and fun! I know it must take a mound of time from your days Tim, but we all appreciate you so.
I used the Holly Bough Layering Stencil to mist in Tumbled Glass Spray Stain, then I added Cranberry Stickles from Ranger for the berries.
I embossed the word with a combination of Wendy Vecchi's Sky Blue Powder and Ranger's Antiquities in Cobalt. I did it twice to get it really deep.
After using ephemera I've wanted to use for a while...love this technique Tim...I embellished and added more Stickles. But guess what?!!...I forgot to sew around the tag. I was so looking forward to that. So I decided to go with a little Grit Paste around the edges to look like snow. At first I didn't like it, but it grew on me.
 
 
Thanks for stopping by, and for all the love! I'll be back again soon with some stuff I've made for people for Christmas. Until then, happy Christmas parties with ugly sweaters!!!

Supplies:

I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!
