The back side of the Christmas tag

More distressing, stamping and stickles here.

The pocket is made with a stamped coin envelope (it has the same motif as the background). The envelope is covered with christmas embellishing trim.

The little angel has been alcohol inked and has rock candy stickles on the wings.

Finally the tag has the sentiment written at the back. I think the candy canes add the perfect touch ;-D

A christmas tag

I'm not a huge fan of any themed project but I have some lefties from last years' christmas mini so I decided to play along with them and some new tools I have bought recently.

The base of this tag is thick yellow cardstock. First I did some masking using LSG and Glimmer Mists showing bells and green "flowers" (they were suppose to be snowflakes but I changed my mind).

Next step was to distress the card and stamp the lyrics of "wish you a merry christmas" with staz-on ink.

As it was very strong background, I used white gesso to tone it down.

I recently bought an embossing pen and was willing to try it so I went over the masked shapes and embossed there. I also used this pen onto parts of the image (Graphic45) to give some highlights to the dresses, the star and the candles on the tree. It's very shimmery though it's difficult to see with the picture.

The metal flowers were silver and I embossed them with white (as the title).

A bit of more misting, stickles and some acrylic flowers (like snowflakes) and my tag was done.

Vintage tag

This card is just made for fun. I wanted to create/play around and this is the result. Video will be uploaded at my YT channel " eluniversoencantado " explaining the process.

1st Mixed Media Tag

I've been watching RachO113 YT channel for a while now. She always amazed me with her creations and her mixed media projects. I decided to try one on my own and here is the result.

I picked up a piece of cardstock and played with it. I practice the collage technique, glimmer mist painting, distressing, embossing, crackle painting, acrylic painting... lol everything I wanted to try on it! And because I was having so much fun I decided to make my own handmade ribbon flower (I followed the tutorial of Jo (Paperdrama) ) adding some lace, feather and pearl ribbon.

If you want to know more about it, check my video at my youtube channel: "eluniversoencantado". Thanks!

Tag for a friend

This tag goes along with a mini album I made for a swap. At the back there's some writing.
