Twelve Tags of Christmas Funky Junky style # 6

Time seems to fly, for here we are already at tag # 6, half way! The Funky Junky is hosting this challenge and you can see her original tag here
My tag has turned out very different again, but there are several elements that inspired me: The lay-out, the use of a clock, the tree and I would have loved to have used Tim Holtz' Snowflake rosette die, but alas I don't own it so had to make do with a normal rosette which I dolled up a bit with one of my favourite parchment poinsettias. (They seem to become a bit of a trademark....) I also don't have a tree die, so I stamped my trees instead. The Funky Junky Boutique is sponsoring this challenge, - there is a fab prize to be won for someone who has completed all 12 tags. Well, I'm determined to complete all 12 of them, as they are great fun to do and make me do things that I would not normally think of.

  4. Absolutely gorgeous - that ethereally lovely background with the tree silhouettes against it gives this such a tranquil beauty... I'm almost there with 5 and 6 but can't get my head around 4 at the moment!

  10. I have to say the trees in the background and the soft fade away reminds me of a crisp winter day where it is slightly overcast and snow is pending. Beautiful tag!
