Mixed Media Christmas Tag Ice Cold Holiday

Hello, my dear crafty friends, welcome back to the new challenge! This week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge our theme is "ICE COLD". I was inspired to create a mixed media holiday tag using Tim Holtz Sizzix Geo Christmas Thinlits Die, and decorated it with Idea-Ology Christmas Word Adornment and Tiny Bell Findings.

I started this project with applying Distress Paint on the background of this size 8 tag, then adding the modeling paste using a palette knife on the bottom of the tag to create the snow. I also splatted some Gesso and water mixture to make the falling snow. 

The Christmas tree was die cut using Tim Holtz Sizzix Geo Christmas Thinlits Die, the patterned paper from Mini Christmas Paper Stash and a Big Shot. The tiny bells and Christmas Word Adornment were attached on the tag to decorate this holiday tag.

Mixed Media Tag Favorite Technique Heat Embossing

Hey, my crafty friends, welcome back to the new challenge. This week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge we challenge you to use your "FAVORITE TECHNIQUE".

We are showcasing a brand/company - PaperArtsy, as it’s the first Monday of the month. You don’t have to use them to join in with the challenge but if you have them we would love to see them used. This week we are welcoming the lovely Makena Bennet aka Avant_Card into the Designer Spotlight. Please visit her blog for all the awesome inspiration!

I was inspired to create a mixed media tag with Paper Artsy Rusting Powder on the background and using my favorite technique - heat embossing the stamped image with Ranger Embossing Powder and Paper Artsy Lynne Perrella Cling Stamp.

To start this project, I applied the modeling paste on the tag using a palette knife, then added Paper Artsy Rusting Powder on it. On a piece of white heavy card stock, I stamped the image and heat embossed it. It then was colored using the watercolors and torn to pasted on the tag using Tombow Glue.

Some metal embellishments and Prima Flowers were adhered on the tag. I also added sentiments using Tim Holtz Metallic Stickers.
