MAGICAL SNOW TAG

This is my second tag I did for the Gecko Galz 24 tags of Christmas and I tried a new and fun technique I hope you might try your hand at.

PRODUCTS USED

Gecko Galz From Russia With Love Collage Sheet

Large Shipping Tag

Printed Tissue Paper by Recollections

Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Sapphire Blue and Gold

Ranger Distress Ink in Peacock Feathers and Vintage Photo and Black Soot

Stampabilities "Joy" Stamp

UTEE by B& J Art Stamps in Chunky Gold

Glossy accents

Smooch inks in Molasses, Pool, Pearl and Gold

Card stock in teal

Ribbon

beaded trim

and flower

HOW TO MAKE TAG

Take your tag and using ink blending tool cover top with your ranger inks. next cut a piece of tissue that measures 1" larger all the way around and crumple then start adhering it to the top of the tag using liquid adhesive (you want some of the part sticking up). Next take your Glimmer mist and spray onto tissue paper lightly, if you get a large spot wipe with paper towel. Let this dry for 30 minutes. While it drys cut out your image from the collage sheet (I enlarged to 5x3.5) and back with teal card stock. Next along the outer edge add glossy accents then sprinkle with UTEE and heat to create a vintage metal look to outer edge. Stamp with your Joy Stamp using your black ink and let dry. Now take your piece of beaded trim and using double sided tape adhere to the back bottom edge of tag. Then adhere image to center of tag at an angle and paint image in spots with your Smooch inks (this will create an inlay look so it resembles a Russian box). Pull ribbon through hole and place flower over hole.

Have a happy scrappy day
