CAS Christmas January Challenge - Tag

Happy new year everyone!  We are kicking off this new decade at CAS Christmas with Tag as our theme this month.  It’s still a card challenge, so make sure to include a tag somewhere on your card entry.


Here’s my card.


Took a stitched rectangle panel from my stash and embossed it with a falling snow embossing folder (retired).  Next, stamped the Avery Elle snowman with alcohol friendly black ink on a scrap of alcohol friendly cardstock.  Coloured in with Copics then die cut out with the matching die.


Then on a scrap of Bristol paper, the sentiment was heat embossed with white embossing powder, then die cut out with STAMPlorations Luggage Tag.  Ombre ink blended Peacock Feathers distress ink with a blender brush then wiped off excess ink with a paper towel.  To make it stand out better, used a dark gray Polychromos pencil to add shading.  Looped a red baker’s twine to the tag then added snow with a white gel pen to finish.



We have Jane (Onions and Paper) as our guest this month.  To see what she and my team have created to inspire you, check out the challenge post HERE.  Looking forward to seeing what you create.  Thank you for dropping by.

This little guy is adorable, Trina! And that blended background is perfect! I hope this year I can do better with blending. My best blending in 2019 was with you beside me. Too bad it didn't come back to NC with me!

Your snowman is so darling, Trina! His adorable smile makes me smile! :-)
Your Copic coloring and the pencil shading bring the snowman to life. The dry-embossed falling snow and the white gel pen snow is a wonderful touch!

What a sweet snowman and his snowy tag looks perfect against that embossed background. I wonder why any brand would retire such a useful, timeless folder?

And .... whoosh - I'm back wearing my Sparkles Christmas hat to say the same again! Thanks for sharing with us
