Meant to share this tag a few days ago, but somehow life intervened. I went out of my comfort zone to make this Christmas tag because of the extra blue colours inspired by the challenge at Verve and am quite satisfied with the outcome. I hope you like it too.
watercolor paper
blue Distress ink
dark blue cardstock
die cut trees (RAK- Thanks Nikki)
star sequins.
SRM sticker sentiment
Distress ink was blended on the paper and water was spritzed on it. Added four layers of dark torn edged paper to resemble a hilly plateau in the shadows and adhered the tree die cut. As the tree shape was uneven, the next die cut was turned over to resemble the shape of an evergreen. After turning its branches upwards, it was adhered along its center to the first die cut. Similarly, the third die which appears to have been cut from some designed paper was adhered atop the second and finished off with star sequins.

Thanks for visiting. My posts will be very spaced out now as there are only 25 days until Christmas and there's a lot to do. Have a great day!
