Christmas Tag
Good Morning Everyone, I hope you are all fine and looking forward to some crafting time to-day. To-day's Tag was made for Sunday Stampers Challenge 232 where theme is 'Faces'. So I decided to do a Christmas Tag using my favourite santa stamp. After stamping the image and distressing it a bit I layered it on to some crushed glassine paper that had been distressed too and added a small piece of burlap. I started off to do a crackled background and after giving it a coat of gold acrylic paint I put on a layer of my green glue only to find it was really thick and needed watering down. However, I left it on and dabbed some peaks etc and left it at that as the texture was lovely. After it dried I used fired brick, pine needles and walnut stain to edge and give it the colour I wanted. The christmas rose was made from glassine paper and again I used DI to get the colour. I threaded up some red and white beads along with the rustic bell to add some charm. I really am happy with the way it turned out, a real happy accident for me. Enjoy your Day. Hugs Rita xx

This is just beautiful Rita - it looks so vintage you might have found it in your grandmother's old chest in the attic. Thanks for popping over earlier and leaving such a nice comment on my layout. Hope you are keeping better now and maybe we can meet up sometime soon. Hugs, Elizabeth xx
Rita , that is stunning!
I haven't been doing much crafting these days. I'm just so wrapped up in this college course and don't have a lot of spare time.
Thanks for sharing.

This is gorgeous, Rita - I adore the colours. You have blended them so well and the effect is fabulous. Lots of 3-D interest too.
Thanks for your lovely comment - I've made a good start today and have actually started the first page! It's scarey just how much is involved in this project and I think it's going to take a long time.
