I'm still in Christmas mode at my making table, I don't give up on snowflakes that easily, and I'm a bit of a last minuter so still have cards and gifts to make before the big day :) Of Tim's tags my favourite was day 9; I just loved that colour combo so decided to use something similar for mine.
[apologies for the shadows, the sun was out when I took these!]
I stamped this gorgeous Big Snowflake from Hero Arts [on offer now over at The Stampman!] with white acrylic paint, then used Starburst Stains and my Mica Paint palette to add a shimmery, watercolour background.
Moonglow embossing powder around the edge of the tag adds some more dimension. I used the same powder to stamp and emboss the snowflake on some dark brown card followed by lots of fussy cutting! That's only one snowflake on there so not too much cutting out.
Check out the rest of The StampMan DT tags
and don't forget to make and add yours :)
I just wanted to say THaNK You to my new followers - there's something so nice about crossing the 200 boundary of followers - I truly, truly appreciate it!
On a different note entirely - anyone had side effects from a Ventolin inhaler? I've had the flu this week (swine or not we neither know or care, it was just nasty!) and I've been left with an annoying cough. The doctor gave me an inhaler yesterday which worked wonders, but then I couldn't get to sleep and have been jittery ever since. Aaaaagh, I just need to be well to get on with stuff!!!
Sorry, thanks for listening ;)
EDIT: It's snowing :) :) :)
