Hello crafters, today I am Guest Designing for a very special event organized by very talented Loll of Stamping with Loll. Today, is the last and final day to this wonderful event called "Twelve Tags of Christmas". I am sure this event provided for loads of Mixed Media inspiration :) Besides, you also get to play along and share your beautiful tags and get a chance to win a $40 gift certificate from the event sponsor STAMPlorations :) The Event linkup ends on Nov 16th, so you have a couple of days to share your beauties.
* For this event, Mixed Media is defined as stamps + ink, plus two other elements which add texture and/or dimension.
So, let me show you what I created :)By the way my tag looks inspired by the Event graphic but let me assure you, that this was made way before the graphic was finalized LOL
I used a lot of texture and dimension for my tag... I am showing the closeups first. The glossy diagonal lines are translucent embossing paste, applied by the stencil. The gold foliage is a die cut done with metal sheet and the shimmer on Poinsettia is perfect pearls. Also I stamped the poinsettia twice to create dimension by layering.
The background of the tag shows distress inking, stamping of the sentiment BG in the same shade of green, some water splatter and perfect pearls for poinsettia stamped on the BG.
And here is the final look... The final touches involved adding ribbon, some embellishment and some sequins. Sadly, I couldn't capture the shimmer in this photo :(
Hope you enjoyed this tag and I enjoyed making it :) I want to thank Loll for inviting me along with all the amazingly talented Guests :) Playing with mixed media is so much fun, I think we all should try it irrespective of whatever style we have :)
Don't forget to play along and share your tags HERE!! Thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment :)
