Here is my tag with UFO pieces:-)

After seeing so many of Bonnie's (Stamping with Klass) Christmas Tags using pieces from her UFO (Unfinished Objects) I started searching my boxes for neglected pieces.

I found this tag using Arches Cold Press paper that I had cut into a 2 1/2" x 4 1/2" rectangle and cut the diagonal corners.  I used a piece of scrap CS to make my template,  which I have kept.

I had sponged with Distress Inks with blue and green colors. I added the stenciled snow using Golden's Molding Paste.  When dry I used my UFO alcohol ink with tissue paper backing die cut trees that were extras from a previous project.  The large tree is popped up. The smaller tree attached with Tombow liquid glue.

Then stamped the PB sentiment using Archival Jet Black ink and layered over a sentiment that was smeared, but made a nice black border.  Added SU Lost Lagoon silk ribbon (ret) and done.

Thanks Bonnie for inspiring me to make a quick tag that I really like:-) 

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

There will be samples by Loll and her Guest Designer until Friday the 17th, but you have until the 24th to link your tags to the challenge. There are many gorgeous tags in the challenge gallery too.   It is so much fun getting our tags done ahead of the holidays!

Happy Holidays my friends!  Hugs..

CAS Watercolour January 2017 Snowflake Reminder Challenge

Here is my sparkly CAS Watercolour January Reminder Card...Snowflake!

So many gorgeous CAS Watercolour Snowflake Reminder cards by the Design Team and our Guest Designer, Hannelie (Desert Diva).   You will be inspired and hopefully will get a chance to play along. You have until January 24th to play!

A few days ago I had such a fun play day with my forever girlfriend Leslie (Running with Scissors). I got to see Leslie's amazing reorganized stamp room with a beautiful new larger window overlooking her beautiful gardens.  One of her kids (golden retriever) Lulu,  joined us for the tour, while Lulu's brother Wally stayed in the other room with Leslie's DH Rich.  The girls in one room and the boys in another...sound familiar?

We had fun sharing a few die cuts.  I used Leslie's die cut Impression Obsession "Fir Trees" and Memory Box "Frosty Border" on my card.  Thank you again Leslie for sharing.   They are now on my wishlist!  They were cut from Ninna 120# CS.

I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush watercolour markers to color my white trees using a sweeping motion to give them more texture.  I then die cut my snowbank using Dienamics Snowdrift Die adding SU Fine Tip Glue and Dazzling Diamonds to my snowdrift and the trees.  I used the same glue to attach the pretty "Frosty Border" and then added Wink of Stella to the snowflakes. This is a really pretty sparkly card ;-)

The sentiment is from my brand new Penny Black "Heartfelt Thanks" sentiment set.  I LOVE all 13 of the sentiments in the set :-)  My card is for a dear friend who will soon be celebrating her Winter birthday.

Thank you for visiting and especially for your comments.  Sure hope you get to play along with us this month.   We love seeing all your gorgeous Clean and Simple creations.  Hugs...
