The Challenge Theme for the 5th Tag of Christmas with a Feminine Twist is … SNOW.
I knew I wanted to use my favorite Penny Black Snowman Joy Die Cut … and I took a lot of my inspiration (the double tags, stitching down the side and twine) from Carissa's tag.
When I picked my sentiment color(Catherine Pooler Tutti Frutti) for my stamp from Essentials by Ellen 'Tis the Season (which has apparently been discontinued), I took my inspiration from my snowman's orange nose … and used the same color to create my second tag (using my first one as a pattern).
I watered down white pigment ink and flicked a paint brush to splatter it for my snowy sky. I finished by die cutting Essentials by Ellen Stitching Lines down the sides of my tags.
And since my sentiment is a song lyric (you know you're humming it now … toys in every store …) I'm joining the Christmas Carol Challenge at Dies R Us.
Awesome tag Steph … I hope to join in this fun too! Great inspiration! Thanks so much for playing in our ‘Christmas Carols’ challenge at Dies R Us! Please come back again soon!
