Creative Expressions - Stylish Christmas #4

For my final project with this set Stylish Christmas 1 I have made a tag. I wanted to use the tree on the set. I cut out a tag from mount board and blended 3 colours of Distress inks (Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky and Pine Needles).

I then used the flourish stamp with Versamark spritzed with water to stamp onto the background. It lifts off some of the colour to leave a negative resist. I use this technique a lot when making backgrounds. If you have not done this before there is a tutorial for you to follow.

• I over stamped the same swirl stamp using 2nd generation Pine Needles (I did not want it too dark)
• The tree was stamped with black pigment ink and embossed with a sparkly embossing powder.
• I sponged some versamark along the base of the tag and embossed with white powder.
• Then I finished off with some snowflakes, the swirl and Noel all from Spellbinder dies.
