Christmas Tag #9

Hi!
    Glad I'm able to post again today. Started on this tag last week and after a long break, I put it together yesterday. Most time was spent making the microminiature wreath which I could have done without, but I enjoy adding details. I hope you like what you see here today.


Supplies used:
Papermania tag
chalk pastels (background)
Simon says stamp-Kelly Purkey-triangles die (trees)
house die (RAK- Thanks Nikki)
Crayola markers
ice stickles
glossy accents
Crackerbox Palace (sentiment)
Brilliance-pearlescent sky blue (sentiment)
double sided foam tape
Bistro white chalk marker (snow)
    The inspiration for this tag is from Kittie's day seven tag below. First all the die cut embellishments were given their finishing touch as follows...
Trees- White cardstock was used for diecutting. Next, the triangles from the diecut were cut into little trees, then coloured with green leaving parts uncoloured to depict snow.
House- The house die sent as RAK was coloured peach to red. White paper was glued on the reverse across the door and window openings, then coloured. Some white paper was cut and adhered atop the roof and chimney as snow.
Wreath- A hole punch was used on a bit of green cardstock, then cut around it to form a ring. The bow was made with two teeny winnie red triangles and two elongated triangles and the bits were put together on the ring. Stickles and glossy accents were used for its finishing touch.
The sky was blended with chalk pastels and the scene was completed the die cuts and four layers of snow banks made with torn paper. The house, two trees in front and snow bank with stamped sentiment were adhered with dimensional tape. Finally, falling snow was added by gently tapping the chalk marker with a finger.
