My week seven version of Linda's Funkie Junkie 12 Tags of Christmas tag, version 2.0. I was enamored by Linda's gorgeous snowflake background and decided to give it another go. I have one more idea and would like to do a third, but we'll see. :) I need to order some foil from her shop, The Funkie Junkie Boutique.
For my background I used Frayed Burlap, Pumice Stone, and Vintage Photo Distress ink puddles. Next, I embossed a variety of snowflake stamps in metallic aqua to try to get my colors similar to Linda's tag. I thought the background was too dark, so I gave it a brushing of white Distress paint to tone it down.
I really loved the Wendi Vecchi stamp Linda used, but this old as the hills Stampers Anonymous stamp was the closest I could get. I stamped it in Frayed Burlap. It is the definition of art, but I wish it were a little more regal, but oh well.
My friend had loaned me her snowflake rosette die and I decided to use it to duplicate the dimensional snowflakes on Linda's tag. I love it!!! I added a Martha Stewart snowflake punch from heavy vellum and a pearl.
For my focal point I stamped this Stampington angel Walnut Stain DI and embossed in clear powder. I went over it with white Distress paint to soften it. I layered her over a doily die (MFT) cut from a used coffee filter and then over some burlap paper. For my topper I attached a brad to some metallic twill ribbon.
