Day 6 Twelve Tags of Christmas with Loll & Friends!

Loll is half way thru her Twelve Day Christmas Tag Event!

Six more days of inspiring tags from Loll and her Guest Designers.

But you have until the 24th to link your Christmas Tags!

Here is my Day 6 Holly Tag!

I love how my sweet holly tag turned out using a favorite SU retired 2 step stamping set..."Watercolor Winter".  I used it with a trendy technique...placing my die cut tag in my MISTI and arranging the solid leaves and berries stamp and coloring with Garden Green and Real Red markers then spritzing lightly with water and stamping.  

Next I arranged the lined stamp and stamped over the leaves and berries with Archival Jet Black ink.  I loved the watercolor effect.  I used the same steps for the stamped upper part of the tag.

I kept the tag in MISTI and arranged 2 sentiments from Penny Black "Holiday Snippets" stamp set and stamped with Archival Jet Black ink.  Added Real Red silk ribbon and white twine.  Done.

A pretty little tag for a tray of cookies:-)

Hope you get to play along in Loll's tag event.  A fun way to get your Christmas Tags done ahead!

So much awesome inspiration from Loll's and her Guest Designers daily Tags!

The guidelines for the challenge are that it must be a mixed media Christmas Tag (any style/any size), which includes stamping,  plus two mixed media elements (techniques or products).

Happy Holidays my friends...Hugs!

Ivene's 100th Birthday!

Close Up of Shimmer on Ivene's 100th Birthday Card!

My twin sister Margie and I have been invited to our Godmother Ivene's 100 Birthday Party :-)  Now that is a HUGE accomplishment !  I had so much fun using my new SU "Number of Years" stamp set along with the SU Large Numbers Thinlits Die Set.  The stamp set has 29 photopolymer stamps and the Die set has 11 Dies.  Both very versatile!

I used SU stamp pads and markers and my MISTI to color and place the images exactly where I wanted them.  I then added Wink of Stella to the tiny flowers and painted "gold" Viva Inka Gold over the So Saffron die cut numbers.  The flowers and numbers shine beautifully.  So pretty IRL!

Isn't Ivene a classic tough Norwegian born in North Bend, Oregon ?!?  Love you Ivene !
