Tim made Fall themed tags this month, but I decided that since Christmas is very close that I would make holiday ones. For the tag, I used Tim's iceskate stamp from his blueprint series. The skate was stamped a few times and foam squares were added to give it a 3D look. I also decided to add pom-poms to the skates as that brought back fun memories from my youth. The tinsel was then colored with Mushroom Alcohol Ink to give it an aged look.
The Christmas Card was made with the Giant #12 Black Tag by Ranger as I mentioned above. It was scored and I used a punch to create the tie on the side. Seam Binding was used to close the card.
If you want to make a tag or a card using this technique, I would suggest you head over to Tim Holtz's blog as he takes you step by step in the process. Once you try Frosted Crystal powder, you will fall in love with it.
Wishing you all a fabulous rest of the weekend! Until next time!
