Sweet Stamps- Christmas Tag

I always like to try new and different things, so for the tag challenge at Sweet Stamps, I took out a stencil and lite modeling paste, and here is the tag I created!

 I was so thrilled to see stencils in the Sweet Stamps store!  I used distress inks dabbed onto the craft mat, spritzed with water and dipped the tag into it one color at a time.  I dried the tag between each color with the heat gun. Next, I applied light modeling paste over the stencil to create the fun background on this tag. I sponged on Faded Jeans color over the modeling paste.  I added a couple of SweetCuts dies and snowflakes from Globecraft and Piccolo using Turquoise Lagoon Enamel embossing powder.

 I wanted to point out- the enamel adhesive has a dauber top- so you can sponge it around the edge of your project, dip the edges of your card/tag/chipboard...etc  in the powder and it will stick and you can emboss the edges for a special finishing look.

 I used seam binding to finish the top of the tag. I tapped the ink onto the craft mat, spritzed it with water and put the ribbon in the wet ink.  Perfect color on the ribbon to match the colors in the tag!
