Challenge: 12 Tags of Christmas - Funkie Junkie Style - Week #9

Welcome back to the 12 Tags of Christmas Funkie Junkie Style challenge.  Thank you so much for visiting me and a special thanks to those of you who are playing along with this challenge.  If you are new to the challenge, you can find all the ins and outs of it in this post.

This is week #9 and I have a rustic country look going on with my tag this week.  I cut my tag from a sheet of dark brown CS and embossed it with the TH Woodgrain Texture Fade.  Then a think coat of Picket Fence Crackle Paint was applied.  When dry, I sanded it lightly to give it more of a distressed look.  The stars were cut from chipboard with the Sizzix Stars #2 die.  For the red ones, I cut another set from vanilla CS and stamped the ticking stamp from Kudzu Kafe in Barn Door DI, then sponged the edges with Vintage Photo DI.  For the smaller dangling stars, after die cutting them I took the raw chipboard and painted them with Espresso Alcohol Ink and when dry, I dry brushed them with gesso.  Both the holly leaves and the scroll up top were cut from thin white chipboard, sponged with Pine Needles DI and then embossed with the Enamelware EP from Ranger, a big favorite of mine.  I added tiny rusty bells with jump rings and they are dangling from TH wire pins.  Country gingham fabric makes the bow and some buttons and burlap string finish the piece off.  Most of the products are available at The Funkie Junkie Boutique which is having a 10% off moving sale at this time.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I look forward to see what you will be inspired by on my tag this week.
