I also signed up for a holiday tag swap this weekend. Just make 8 identical holiday tags and swap them with the other 7 swapees and you’ll end up with 8 different tags. I had a really hard time with this one for some reason. It’s just a small card, but I struggled. Finally after a number of prototypes I produced this:
This has a night of navy base upon which I stamped the top of one of the trees in the Festival of Trees stamp set in silver. Then I used a mask that I’d cut out previously and dabbed versamark on the bottom of the card before sprinkling the heat and stick powder. After heating this until it went glossy, I poured on the dazzling diamonds glitter. Very pretty stuff.
Then I punched out a 1 inch circle of whisper white and adhered it in the sky before using the embossing buddy and stamping the santa in versamark. This stamp is from the Holiday Home set. I embossed in silver and apart from matting the tag in smoky slate and adding some ribbon from Michaels, I was done. I just have to make another seven…
I love your Christmas tag. 🙂 I would definitely buy those. Did your recipients like them?
They seemed to! I was happier with them once I’d changed the size a bit – They’d been too fat to start with.
