Brrrr

 On the 6th Day of December Tim created a quite different tag... lots of color and vigor... a wonderfully colored tag... 
I didn't have that particular embossing folder... so I decided to go with an entirly different look... 
I didn't have the foil paper... but I sort of make my own... I found this really wonderful roll of silver tape in my husbands area of the garage... and it is called Heating and Air Cond tape... for air ducks... LOL... so I sort of swipped the first couple... but now I have my own... in a couple of different widths... you can buy a huge roll for around $20.00... lasts forever and ever...  almost 3"wide...  anyway... I put that on a tag and trimmed off the excess cardstock... then I ran it thru the embossing folder (cuttlebug snowflake one... )  and then using a blue dabber (acrylic paints)  I colored the tag... when the paint was dry, I lightly sanded it... to bring the snowflakes out... and all silver for the most part.. 
I used a snowflake embossing folder... and then I used a blue
 As you can see in this picture a little better... 


This was an easy tag, once I had decided what I was going to do... I then cut 4 snowflakes out using Spellbinder die cuts... 
The bottom layer is white card stock... the next was a scrap of paper that I had stamped.. I liked the blue... even though it was a paisley design it was perfect...then I took a piece of paper I had painted with Twinkling h20's... and cut that out.... then another white snowflake.  I popped some... and glued others... and finally put on the idea-ology snowflake... which I had colored with picket fence alcohol ink.. and sanded that too...  

 I wanted it to be a real snowstorm... just like the ones we use to have up in the north east...  (now in the south... a lot warmer...  )  so I added some Quilled snowflakes...  texture and layers is the look I wanted... 


Using a small die cut from Cuttlebug, I cut the work BRRRR out... and then put glitter all over it...  and ran thru the xyron and put that on the tag... a little seam binding... and I was done... 

 
This tag also appears on Inspiration Emporium… so please take a few minutes and check out all the WONDERFUL tags there… they look so different and I personally think there are some there that are not on Tim’s … but check it out…

Thanks Shelly for telling me about this site… I love it… will be going there often…  that is for sure… my kind of site…

I have a sweater on now...but the day is overcast anyway... LOL...  it is a chilly tag... glad I am not experiencing snow... 

Hope you have a creative day... a happy one too.... see you soon... and thanks for stopping by... hope you will go to Tim's blog and see some of the other peoples tags... there are some wonderful ones there... tons of them... we are a prolific world...  

Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie

  1. This is lovely! I don't have many of the products Tim used on today's tag so looked through the thumbnails to see what others did. Yours and another snowflake embossing folder tag have inspired me to go that route instead. Thanks for sharing such a pretty tag!
    Cheers, Karen
