Challenge: 12 Tags of Christmas - Funkie Junkie Style - Week #11

Good Monday morning, friends.  Welcome to all my new followers - hope you will hop aboard the 12 Tags of Christmas - Funkie Junkie Style!  If you are new to this challenge, you can read all about it here.  I'm back this morning with my Tag #11.  We are almost to the finish line now.  You have until December 17th to submit all your tags.  They can be done in any order as long as they are all finished and uploaded by that date.

Thank you so much to everyone who as played along so far.  If I haven't visited you and commented on each and every one of your entires, my apologies!  You may already know that I am in the middle of moving.  The moving van will be here tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. so right now it's pack, pack and pack.  Once the stuff is on the truck, I will have time to visit you all.  Unfortunately, we don't have a house to move into so we will be heading for my mom and dad's place to camp out for a few weeks until we figure out what we are going to do.  We did have a deal on a house, but we had to withdraw our offer on Sunday.  The inspection showed high levels of radon gas in the home.  We had the test repeated to confirm the results and the second test came back way higher than the first so we just had to walk away from that home, which broke our hearts because we thought we had finally found exactly what we were looking for.  Now we are back to square one.

Here are the deets on Tag #11.  As always I started with a jumbo manila tag.  It was clear embossed with the Fabulous Flourishes stamp and then a script stamp was stamped over the entire piece in Jet Black Archival.  After that, it was sponged heavily with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  I created a wreath of sorts built on a rosette.

I cut multiple holly leaves using the Festive Greenery Decorative Strip die, sponged them with Vintage Photo and glued them to the rosette.  The holly berries, cut with the same die, were stained with a drop of Vintage Photo Distress Stain and then coated with Glossy Accents.  The pretty amber button is from Tim Holtz's Idea-ology line.  I cut felt leaves using the Holly Banch die and applied chunky glitter over a coat of Claudine Hellmuth's Multi Medium Matte.  The sentiment is a stamp from the Mini Holidays 4 set, the brads holding it were embossed with Vintage Photo Distress Embossing Powder.  The lovely cluster at the bottom was all cut with the Festive Greenery die.

That's it, folks.  Now it's your turn - can't wait to see how this piece will inspire yours!  Thanks again for stopping by and or playing along.  Hope you have a great week.
