On the run up to each Christmas, I usually take part in Karen Telfer's Christmas Tag challenge. Because we were living in the caravan and I didn't have my craft supplies, I wasn't able to take part in 2024. Now my craft room is set up, I thought I had better get cracking on the tags. For 2024, Karen was doing 12 tags rather than 24 as she had a busy work schedule.
This is my Day 3 Tag (You can watch Karen's tutorial here).
I didn't have the stamps or stencils Karen used for her tag, so I have improvised with what I have to make this tag.
I stamped the large flower stamp from the Funky Fossil Designs "Funky Florals" stamp set in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.
I then used "Mowed Lawn" Distress Oxide Ink through two Funky Fossil stencils (Nordic Star Background Stencil and Micro Dots Stencil).
I painted the flowers using Distress Oxide Inks: Lumberjack Plaid, Mustard Seed and Lucky Clover) shades of ink. I also used a yellow and an orange Posca Pen.
Next, I added some colour around the edge of the tag, I used "Peeled Paint" Distress Oxide Ink.
Finally, I added a stamped sentiment. I chose the word "Noel" which is part of the Funky Fossil Designs "Stripped Back Christmas Sentiment" stamp set.
Prettily coloured flowers Sam and the green stencil work in green with the Nordic Star and Micro dots and the ink blending around the edges work so well with the flowers..another wonderful CASEing of Karen's original tag. x
