There are loads of prizes to be won :) all you have to do is create a mixed media and link it HERE for your chance to win!!! 

For this event, Mixed Media is defined as stamps + ink, plus two other elements which add texture and/or dimension.

Winner - $40 gift certificate from STAMPlorations

Top Three - $20 gift certificate each from STAMPlorations

Random Draw - Christmas Bell Medley set from Dee's Artsy Impressions

Since, I am giving away my Christmas Bell Medley set to one lucky winner, I thought I will make the tag using the same set :) 

 

I made this tag using lot of textures and dimension. I did some stamping, masking and water coloring of the bells. I added embossing paste using a sun burst stencil, water color splash and some more stamping with pine needles and addition of a partially inked die cut sentiment. I also added some wink of stella for additonal sparkle :) Here is a closeup into my tag...
