12 Tags of Christmas Challenge with Funkie Junkie

I have to tell you that when I saw Linda's 12 tags of Christmas challenge on her thefunkiejunkie.blogspot.com I was filled with excitement. I don't know if it's that I love making tags and I haven't in a while or just the thought of Christmas which is a favorite time year for me. So I jumped aboard and today want to share my first tag. I don't know if I will make all 12 but we'll see. I took her inspiration and painted the 8 inch large tag with my new acrylic Metallic toupe paint after sending it through the TH embossing folder. I then got out my platinum embossing powder from my friend Joan (thank you Joan) and embossed the top, bottom and the TH Wings and Heart die cut which I cut it out of corrugated chipboard.Next it was all about the glitter dust on the wings which I just love. I then added Linda's Venise lace heart from her store along with a sweet rose. The chipboard sentiment is a K&Company. Linda's mesh ribbon and lace from my stash are tied at the top. I was so inspired by Linda's colors she used and the heart and wings although I reversed it a bit. Hope you enjoy my tag and jump on over to the Funkie Junkie bog and store for a visit.http://thefunkiejunkie.blogspot.com/
