Karen Telfer's "12 Days of Christmas Tags 2025" - Day 1

For me, it is that lovely time of year, when I can embrace Karen Telfer's "12 Days of Christmas Tags 2025" series.  Due to various commitments, Karen is not able to make new video content this year, instead using twelve of her favourite tags from the previous years.  If you want to follow along, you can find her video for today on this link.

Here is my Day 1 tag.  As I have made this tag, following Karen's colours previously, I decided to do something a bit different this time using cool whites, mauves, pinks and grey colours.

I painted a piece of corrugated cardboard using PaperArtsy "Snowflake" Fresco Finish chalk acrylic paint.  Once dry, I stuck on various colours of card, showing the torn edges.  On the pink card, I used a Lavinia Stamps "Winter Magic" stamp with Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink to stamp the verse.  I also used a couple of Lavinia Stamps "Snowflake Stickers" on the background too.

For the central stamped image, I used a Lavinia Stamps "Small Fairy Fir Tree" with "Dusty Concord" Distress Oxide Ink which was spritzed with a spray of water to make the stamping more water colour like.  I edged the central white card uisng Versafine Clair "Hawthorne Rose" ink.

Finally, I added some co-ordinating die cuts using the Sizzix/Tim Holtz "Holiday Greens - 658759" die cut set.  Adding a word sticker to the central area of the die cuts saying "Winter Vibes".
