Snow Fairy Tag

It's time for another tag for the Weekend Tagger's challenge. The image is from Stampendous, stamped with a metallic ink:


I added silver leaf around both the dark panel and the tag, and used the Diamond Dust around the dark panel and on the punched snow flake, too. I found some sparkly fiber in my stash.

My first prototype is lilac:

I used the Diamond Dust on the body of the fairy.

Thanks for the challenge, ladies!

Another tree tag?

Yes! This is for the Weekend Taggers -- although I'm cheating a bit on the design. Here's my take:

There is supposed to be horizontal text toward the bottom of the tag, but I skipped that, because the background paper is text.

The image is Impression Obsession, I think. I used the same ink around the outside of the framed image to make it stand out a bit more -- the background paper is surprisingly busy! The tree is spangled with a Stardust gelly roll pen, but it doesn't show up on the scan. Nor does the diamond dust show on the punched snowflake -- oh, in real life this tag SPARKLES! I would like to put diamond dust on everything.

I found it by mistake at Hobby Lobby -- there was none in the paper crafting section. I was browsing the Christmas aisles, and found some fake plastic snow. Someone had abandonned the container of Diamond Dust in favor of the fake snow. It's made to "sugar" fake fruit and flowers, apparently, and is usually located in the floral section.

O Christmas Tree -- Red & Green Challenge

This week's challenge is to make a red & green tag. It seems I only think Christmas when I think red & green, so I made another Christmas tree tag:


The image is from Tin Can Mail (Inkadinkado), stamped in moss green ink (Club Scrap). I used a red marker to color in the holly berry, and then got carried away and filled in the notes at the bottom, too. I dotted glue randomly on the tree, then shook on some Judikins Prisma Glitter. It's a pity the picture doesn't pick up the glitter; it's quite pretty. Finished with a satin bow.
