Guest Designer at Tag You're It!

Hi everyone.  Today I'm excited to be the Featured Artist for Tag You're It!  Thanks to Tracey and team for asking me!



Since Christmas is only a month away, I thought I'd make a Christmas tag.  I love to put handmade tags on my gifts.

The challenge is to CASE my tag (copy and share everything).  You can copy it all, or just pick parts of it that inspire you.

There's lots to work with ... the bright lime green, turquoise and white colour combo; the sponged (Northern Lights style) background with splattering; a snow scene with snow banks and snow covered trees.  The choice is yours.  I hope you'll come play along at Tag You're It! and CASE my tag.

Thanks for stopping by.







Stamps:  Season's gifts (Penny Black)
Paper:  White (Neenah 110 lb card stock)
Ink:  Distress Inks:  Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers (Tim Holtz)
Accessories & Tools:  Stitched tag die (Lil' Inkers), sponges, white acrylic paint, paint brush for splattering, Fir Trees die (Impression Obsession), Snow writer, Dazzling Diamonds glitter (SU!), Crinkle Ribbon (Tim Holtz), water mister

Great aurora borealis. Ingeniously you managed to give all its beauty in such a small piece of paper, which is the tag. The real championship! Love your the snowy trees.

What a beautiful background for these snowy trees, Loll! Congratulations on your Guest Designer spot! A beautiful tag to CASE!

Your background really does look what I think the Northern Lights display must appear to be. Love that glow that ripples through the greens in the background, and of course the snowy dimension on the trees and hills. The stitching around the edges enhances the look of this pretty tag, and lovely ribbon ties too! TFS & Hugs.
