Guest Designer of this year's 12 Tags of Christmas with Loll and Friends
Happy Wednesday evening ......
Yes it's me again! As you all probably know by now, and if you don't then where have you been?!!!! ....... it's the time of year when the lovely Loll Thompson hosts her 12 Tags of Christmas with Loll & Friends
It's year number 5 for this fun event, but sadly, this is the final one.
So, whether you're a regular to this event or, you've never played along before, this year is your last chance!
We're at Day 10, and there's been some amazing tags so far ..... so much gorgeous inspiration. Check out the blog ...... I promise you, you won't be disappointed.
As you know I've been playing along all week, but today, I'm thrilled to say it's my turn to be Guest Designer ...... thanks for having me again!
When Loll invited me to share in the event, this little guy had just appeared in the craft room.
He's called Bundled Up ..... he's from Penny Black ....... and he's just sooo cute!!! I love him .... can you tell!
I've stamped him here onto Kraft cardstock using Distress Oxide inks and I think he looks fab!
I did use my MISTI, stamped one colour at a time, and built up the image gradually.
So, I stamped the hat and his eyes with Black Soot, added the holly and the berries using Peeled Paint and Festive Berries, his carrot nose with Carved Pumpkin, then I did the scarf with the red again ..... you see what I mean.
Once I was happy with the depth of colour, a quick blast with the old heat tool to make sure the ink was dry, and then I went over the top of the inks using Prismacolor Pencils in the same shades, to give a more solid, detailed look
To colour his face and body I used PaperArtsy's Snowflake Fresco Finish Acrylic Paint mixed with a little water, and finished with a white Prisma pencil over the top.
I heat embossed the sentiment across the bottom ......
A little bit of white ink dusted around the edges of the tag, lots of chunky white embossing powder to give the snowy effect, and some crystal glitter for a little icy sparkle to finish.
The festive red berries are Nuvo drops ......
I've had so much fun playing along with all the 12 tags events ..... thank you again Loll, for having me as one of your Guest Designers ..... it's been an absolute pleasure.
I do hope you can join in the fun, and make this final event the best one ever!
Full details, and a list of prizes up for grabs can be found over on Loll's Blog.
There's still lots of time to play along. I know we're nearly at the end of the 12 Days of inspiration tags but, the actual link where you can add your own tag is open until November 23rd.
Happy stamping!
Thanks for popping by ..... enjoy the rest of your evening.
Cheerio until next time .....
