12 Tags Of 2012 - January

Okay, here's the last one for Tim's 12 Tags of 2012. I do hope he continues on for the new year. I basically stayed kept to his plan, but I did add the Tissue Wrap like I did on my December tag. I also added the Snowman Blueprint "Glazed Mosaic" piece, which is the challenge at Linda's Compendium of Curiosities II Challenge from Tim's book pg. 60.
I used Broken China, Brushed Pewter, and White Picket Fence Distress Stains for my background.
I decided to try something a tiny bit different on the Glazed Mosaics. I stamped first in Jet Black Archival, and wanted to see if it would come off using Tim's technique, and it did not, so that was good.
