XMAS SCRAPS ***TAG***

A lovely hello to you all,

I feel so much better today,
(I am almost back to my normal self)

I got up this morning & dashed into my craft room
& only came out for lunch (tee  he hee)

I have made a tag for the the stamp man challenge
this time the theme is CHRISTMAS, click on the link to read all the details.

I cut a tag from red card as my base,

I then cut a smaller one from scrap paper

 & layered scraps of patterned papers onto it,

then edged it with brushed corduroy DI, to age it up a bit,

then stuck them together as shown.

I made the fragment charms as Tim shows us in his book,

(this is a catch up tag for the compendium of curiosities challenges,

that I told you about a few posts ago,

this one is for week 17 [fragment charms]

another one down, still a few to go but I'm getting there)

the tree is a paper artsy hot pick stamp,

that I stamped in versa mark,

then heat embossed with glittery embossing powder,

I then cut it out,

I went all over it with brushed corduroy DI, to age it again,

I did the same with the sentiment sticker

& added a couple of brads.

next I want to show you the tag hole,

when you make a tag yourself you don't get the nice bit round the hole,

so I make my own with 2 circle punches & stick it over the top,

I think it looks just like the real thing & finishes it off nicely.

all that's left to say is, a gem glued to the star for a bit of bling

& red satin ribbon through the hole,

& it's job done.

hope you like it.

I would love to read your comments,

please speak to me,

I won't bit honest

(well not very hard anyway lol)

May I take this opportunity to say thank you

to all you lovely people that have wished me better, &

the lovely comments you have all left me,

I appreciate every single comment I get from you. 

so thank you once again.

well I'm off to link this up over at the stamp man blog,

thanks for stopping by,

back soon
