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.
Here's my Day 2 tag (this is the link to Karen's Day 2 tutorial).
I used an embossing folder that came free with Creative Stamping, Special Ediion 1 magazine for the texture on this tag. I do know that it was quite agressive on the water colour paper and in a couple of places, totally cut through the paper, which I think I have been able to disguise.
I used Cosmic Shimmer Iridescent Shimmering Watarcolour paints for this tag, opting for a turquoise and dark/blue almost purple shades.
Once dry, I then applied Cosmic Shimmer "Old Gold" Gilding Wax over the raised areas of the surface. I added a Creative Expressions word sticker then added "Copper Pearl" Liquid Pearl dots where the berries would be.
