CHRISTMAS TAG
I started by diecutting a tag from X-press It cardstock. Stamped the bear with Copic friendly black ink and coloured with Copics. Masked him, then sponged turquoise dye ink for the background. Spritz with a shimmer spray for some sparkle (was unable to capture it in the photo).
Next heat embossed the sentiment (retired) using Versafine black ink and clear embossing powder. To make the tag sturdier, another tag was die cut from a scrap of thick white cardstock and stacked. Added a black ribbon (retired) to complete the tag.
Making the tag was the easy part. I struggled with how to add it to the card. I ended up dry embossing a Whisper White panel with nesting rectangle dies. Popped the panel onto a white card base with some black fun foam for dimension to finish.

Such a fantastic card Trina! Love the icy blue background on the tag with that sweet bear image which you’ve colored perfectly as usual. The nested die embossing on the card blank was pure genius though - just brilliant. Have a great week xx
Super cute Trina and love that dry embossed framing :)
So cute. Love the dry embossed background. It really adds interest and sets off the darling tag. So cute.
The embossed rectangles are a perfect background for this sweet tag, Trina! Love this sweet teddy peeking out and the blue and red color scheme!
Beautiful work, Thank you for joining at Addicted to Stamps and More and waiting to see next time.

Magnifique ! I love how your tag pops up over the white panel and what a clever idea to dry embossed the background, I didn't see it on the LIM blog but I really love how it looks. I also struggled with how to add it so that it doesn't seem to float in the void ! As usual your colouring is amazing. Have a great week ! xx
PS: Thank you so much for my lovely and adorable Birthday card !
