Hello everyone and a specially warm welcome to all of my new followers.
Well I am very proud of myself as I actually managed to finish all of the
12 tags of Christmas Funkie Junkie style and I have one week to spare....
If you don't know what this is all about, you can check out all the details
HERE, and if you still wanted to join in, well, there is one week left because this challenge closes on the 17th of December. It has been a lot of fun and I have met some lovely people through this challenge too and that has been great.
Now for the details of tag number 12, like usual I have taken a lot of inspiration from Linda aka the Funkie Junkie's original tag which you can see
here
Like Linda I gold embossed my background and coloured my tag red, though somewhat darker than Linda's. I then added some similar elements, like an ornament with snowflakes, (though mine, being a Spellbinders one has a bit different shape) there is some holly on my tag like on Linda's but mine was created with a little JustRite stamp and instead of a heat embossed background panel, I ran mine through an embossing folder and then went over it with my all time favourite product at the moments, Treasure Gold in the colour White Fire. I added a little stamped heart to my ornament for some more interest and embellished with a rose rather than a poinsettia.
I did not have a Happy Holiday stamp which I liked so my message says Merry Christmas, but I did not really need to tell you that as it is quite obvious lol....
Well that's it, 12 tags complete. This wonderful challenge is being sponsored by
The Funkie Junkie Boutique, and one lucky winner, who has completed all 12 tags and fulfilled all the other criteria, stands to win a fabulous price with two further runners up (is that a word?), how generous is that?!
Hope you like my tag, thank you for visiting and hopefully see you all soon again.
I think you did a wonderful job. The tag is so beautiful!! Congrats on finishing all 12....I am not sure if I will make it or not :-)
ReplyDeleteWell done on completing all 12 tags Astrid. This last one is beautiful. I've really fallen in love with that Spellbinders ornament die after seeing you use it a few times. Love the background embossing and I'm waiting for a 'happy mail' parcel with the gorgeous Treasure Gold colour included ;-)

ReplyDeleteI'm only in it for the pride of course, having not gone festive with mine - but I'm determined to get done... only a week left you say? Hmm...

Love the vintagey feel to this one Astrid and although I hadn't heard of Treasure Gold before, think I'm going to have to investigate that further!
ReplyDeleteDear Astrid,
ReplyDeleteanother gorgeous tag.
The gold embossed red background, is stunning, and all the other embossed pieces looks wonderful with a little gold touch, too. A very beautiful tag, in real christmas colours.

Your old world style on all these tags is just amazing!!! I have loved them all! Beautiful make!
ReplyDeleteOh Astrid, you have outdone yourself with this finale! It is glorious - I love not only the heat embossed base but the dry embossed top panel is lovely too. Your ornament is so beautiful and that heart is such a perfect embellishment. It has been wonderful having you play along with us this year for the 12 tags of Christmas challenge. Best of luck in the drawings and a Merry Christmas to you!
