Day Two-Twelve Tags of Christmas with Loll and Friends!
It is time for Loll's 5th Annual Christmas Tag Event with her Friends.
I am thrilled to be asked again to join Loll's talented group of Guest Designers.
The tag event is such a fun way to build up needed tags for the holidays.
Here is my Christmas Tag for Day 2.
I had so much fun making this bright and bold poinsettia tag using
STAMPlorations Layered Poinsettia stamp set, designed by Shirley of Bees Knees.
Shirley designed 3 Layered Christmas stamp sets: Layered Poinsettia, Layered
Mistletoe and Layered Lights. They are perfect for quick and creative holiday cards.
I die cut my Arches Hot Press paper with CUTplorations "Stitched Tags Nesting Dies"
using the 2nd to the largest of the 6 tag dies.
Placed tag in MISTI and placed 1st solid stamp layer on tag and then inked
with Distress Inks, one layer at a time. I inked stamp with Festive Berries,
spritzed with water and stamped tag then moved ink around with paint brush.
Next did the same with Barn Door DI. Let Dry.
Next used outlined poinsettia layer stamp to stamp over solid poinsettia
using MISTI and Archival black ink.
I stamped the flower image on post-it note and fussy cut out for a mask.
I added mask to flower, colored solid small leaf with Mowed Lawn and spritzed with
water and used MISTI to stamp each leaf and paint brush to move ink around.
water and used MISTI to stamp each leaf and paint brush to move ink around.
Let leaves dry and then stamped with lined leaf using black ink and MISTI.
It was all a fairly quick process. Loved the bold, bright look.
Left tag in MISTI and added the sentiments, which was fun.
I got to use the top sentiment from Layered Lights, 2nd sentiment
from Layered Mistletoe and 3rd sentiment from Layered Poinsettia:-)
My final touches: SU Retired Ribbons and Gold Stickles and Done!
I loved how my tag turned out and hope to create more with the other Layered sets:-)
I am sharing my Poinsettia Card.
Now you can see how my card inspired my Christmas Tag design!
Enjoy and hope you join us at Loll's Twelve Tags of Christmas 2018 Event.

Love the contemporary style to the tag and card Nancy. Great poinsettia layering stamps and how you've stamped the red and green look so beautiful. Stunningly CAS and absolutely wonderful X

ReplyDeleteWhat a special duo. Those poinsettias are totally unique and the stamping so very crisp. The richness of that red is perfect too. A brilliant idea in adding the green and red ribbon to the tag, give that flower a lot of class. Beautiful duo dear friend, xx
