Distressed Christmas Tags
Here we go again another great challenge from the lovely Linda at Studio L3, I love Mondays and I got to play early this week. This weeks challenge is Perfect Distress. Now you all know by now we can't talk about the technique but I will say Linda gave a warning on how addictive this is and I will agree lol; as I have made 5 tags only 3 I'm happy with which are here to share the other 2 I'm not pleased with as I was a bit heavy handed in step 3 and step 5 but will keep and make a note on the back where I went wrong and put in my book which I'm making for these challenges.

| Snowman - stamped in Chipped Sapphire |
On the trees tag I stamped Merry Christmas in pine needles and then in black versafine ink moving stamp just enough to leave a shadow, snowman tag background was tea dye, will all the backgrounds I covered tag and misted and flicked water. My favourite is the vintage music tag think I had got the hang of the technique by this time lol; nice to make different tags for Christmas thanks Linda for challenging me I don't want this challenge to end.
Bye for now
Well you were busy and I love all three! This was so much fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my tags, Maggie! I do understand about the ones that don't turn out as planned. ;-) These three are great, though. Don't you think they would make good Christmas cards?
ReplyDeleteI love all of your tags, but I think the music one is my favourite too.

Terrific tags Maggie, love them. Look forward to starting on mine. Annette x
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun one! My problem was not enough misting (I was afraid! LOL) I kept having to go back in. And I agree, the music one is definately my favorite.
ReplyDeleteLove your tags especially the music one.

All gorgeous Maggie! x
ReplyDeleteHi Maggie, yes my handsome kitty is a seal point tabby Ragdoll. I also am a fully trained servant for his sister Tilly, a chocolate seal point, but she never sits still long enough for a photo!!

Maggie, these are absolutely dreamy! I love the effect you got with this technique and the holiday imagery-- so magical and pretty! I love them all, but keep going back to the snowman-- it looks like he's walking (do snowmen walk?) toward us through a foggy snowstorm. SO beautiful! Girlfriend, you ROCKED this challenge-- these tags are amazing!
