Inspired by...
Jill Dewey Hawkins
Though this isn’t exactly like Jill’s tag it did inspire me.
I used real mailing tags instead of a printed piece e.g. a book page.
The ornaments (Tim Holtz “Christmas 2” set) were stamped first with StazOn jet black ink.
I made masks for these and then using my Tim Holtz platform I stamped verses from two sets (Tim Holtz “Snowman Blueprint” and “Tree Blueprint”) and stamped them with the StazOn moving them down the tag.
Before removing the masks I sponged Distress Oxide vintage photo to the entire tag.
The ornaments were colored with Prisma pencils, artist stumps and Gamsol.
To finish I added Wink of Stella clear gloss to the tops of the ornaments and the strip.
Blue may seem odd to others but these look like the ones that hung on my parents all blue tree while I was growing up in the fifties!
What a fantastic tag. Love the bright blue ornaments and how they contrast with the earthyness of the rest of the tag. Thanks so much for playing along at the 25 Days of Christmas Tags.
