I can hardly believe another year has come and gone! I pray 2017 was a good one for you and 2018 will be the best yet! Today my teamies and I are sharing my favorite posts of the year, Tag Fridays at A Vintage Journey. Anytime we find a fifth Friday in the schedule, we add in a post filled with inspiring tags. I thought what better time to do a sparkly New Years tag!
I embossed this gorgeous stamp by Tim Holtz repeatedly in gold, then gave a spritz of golden Glimmer Mist. I wanted to allow lots of white space.
I computer generated the numerals and layered the hand cut banner over some tulle.
I simply tied a knot in the middle of two sections of tulle then stapled them to my tag, forming a circle.
I cut several Spellbinders stars and gave them a crackle treatment. I used black gesso and IndigoBlu Goldfinger paint in the cracks. I mixed my shiny new Distress Glitter from my friend Sara Emily (a lovely little Christmas gift thank you!) and gold microbeads with DecoArt Decou-Page and brushed along my elements.
I added a few white stars to the mix and some glitter stock golden snowflake die cuts. I finished with a few sequins and a Tim Holtz crystal embellishment. I really enjoyed making this! Happy New Year to you! Make sure to visit the A Vintage Journey blog to see my teammates beautiful tag inspiration.
I'm sharing with:

Autumn, this is such a unique design and is INCREDIBLY gorgeous! I love that embossed background to show off those crackled stars! Woo hoo! Makes me want to wear my party hat and blow my horn! What a cool way to use the glitter along with the microbeads! So happy you used it on this tag. I used the Nuvo drops on mine :) LOVE! Great tag, my friend! Happy New Year! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! I'm definitely looking forward to 2018. The last 4-5 months of 2017 were brutal for my husband and I so we hope that's getting behind us and better things are ahead. Your tag is super special with the coordinated colors and glamorous touches of metallics!
