Greetings bloggy friends and happy weekend to you! I'm combining my Week #4 inspiration tag along with the Our Creative Corner challenge this week which is Numbers. That makes me a few days early with the #4 tag challenge since I have been posting that challenge on Wednesdays. No worries, you still have until December 15th to play in this challenge.
Sharon is our hostess again this week and she wants us to use some sort of number on our submission this week. If you've been reading my blog, you have probably noticed my 12 Tags of Christmas - Funkie Junkie style. My theme for my tag series is December 25th. Since I am very pressed for time over the next few weeks I thought I could combine the two challenges.
You can check out the sidebar links to get an idea of how the challenge works. You can make any kind or any style of card, scrapbook layout, tag, wall hanging, home decor project - anything, you name it. Read all the rules here and then get going so you can play along! A $25 shop in my Etsy Boutique is up for random grabs if you have completed all the tags by December 15th.
Tag #4 is pretty simple. I first stamped the snowflakes with Ranger Archival Jet Black ink and then covered the entire tag with Clear Rock Candy Crackle Paint and let it dry. Once dry I went over it with Vintage Photo Distress Stain and wiped off the excess. It gave it such a nice vintagy tone. The cheese cloth was sprayed liberally with the mixture of Vintage Photo Distress Ink, water and Heirloom Gold Perfect Pearls that I use so frequently. The snowflakes were cut with Spellbinders dies and painted with Gold Acrylic Paint Dabber. The reindeer was cut with the Reindeer Flight die and sponged with Vintage Photo. She has a cute little rusty bell on her burlap twine collar. The numbers 25 were cut with the Tim Holtz Vintage Market letter die and coated with Crystal Effects. The icicles were made with Star Dust Stickles.
That's it for this week's Tag and OCC challenge. I hope you will stop by Our Creative Corner and see the wonderful work by our designers. And I warmly invite you to join in the fun with my 12 Tags of Christmas - Funkie Junkie Style by linking your winter holiday craft item.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Beautifully done! I like the colors in your tag and I wish I had that reindeer die after seeing what you did with it. The icicle at the top are so pretty.
