Today's project was made for this week's Mod Squad challenge which is to make a Christmas tag. I started with a piece of kraft cardstock, and sponged peeled paint and antique linen inks through a TCW tiny circles stencil. I stamped the pine spray image from the GinaK stately flowers 6 set with Versamark, and embossed with winter wonderland ep. I added some Copic colors to enhance the image, and then added some tiny red gemstones. The sentiment was done in dark brown ink, and I tied a piece of red burlap at the top, along with some copper cording to tie it onto a gift. I think this will be a good tag for a masculine gift as it's not too frilly.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you're all staying warm wherever you are! I woke up to some white stuff on the ground here in PA this morning! Brrrr!!

A super guy tag, Carol. I really like that pine spray.
ReplyDeleteOh no....not the white stuff already. We had a little sleet early yesterday morning in this area...kind of weird for us.
This is beautiful, Carol! Love how you did it!
ReplyDeleteThis tag would should be considered the gift itself. It is simply beautiful. Love It!!!!! Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tag! Love the contrast by the white pine spry and the stenciled green dots on the background! The red gems are a touch of light that looks very well!
ReplyDeleteA fabulous tag, I love the stencilling and the lovely pine spray.

Brrr is right Carol!! Our snow didn't lay, so I was a happy camper, no signs that it even snowed yesterday. That's my kind of snow for now! lol I love, love your tag!! I love pine sprays anyway. You stenciling is so cool looking and I love the pine in the white embossing powder with some green copic color. Very wintery!!! I also think that it is a very nice masculine tag. Stay warm my friend, stay warm! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteI've seen some pretty tags lately in blogland, but am pretty sure this one tops them all!!! WHOA! Carol, this is stunning to say the least! Love the way you used the stencil in the background and the pine is just gorgeous! LOVE IT!

ReplyDeleteLoving this tag with all the colors & textures. The pine spray is beautiful against the stenciled patterns and the white embossing against the green stenciling & vintage look of the tag, is so pretty. Loved the burlap look of the tie too. You can keep the white stuff. We just got rain. OK by me! TFS
