The Funkie Junkie Tag Challenge - week 4

This is my take on Linda's tag for week 4 which you can see here. I liked the way she stamped the sentiment on another piece of card so I have tried to replicate this. My tag is veering towards the clean and simple style which I like. I made the the little number embellishment using a Tim Holtz set.

This challenge is sponsored by The Funkie Junkie Boutique and there are prizes to be won!

Materials used:-
Pine stamp - Hobby Art "From our home to yours"
Holly stamp  - Creative Stamping magazine
Swirl stamp - Stampin Up

The Funkie Junkie Tag 1

I was very disappointed when Tim Holtz changed the format of his tag challenge as I really enjoyed playing along with his 12 tags of Christmas Challenge.

I was delighted to find this challenge on The Funkie Junkie blog - Linda posts a tag for inspiration each week which participants use to create their own projects. This challenge is sponsored by Linda's shop The Funkie Junkie Boutique.

I decided it would be fun to make tags again and here is my first one. It is very different from my usual CAS style!  I used the Tim Holtz Holiday Knits stamp for my background although I feel it is a bit dark. I altered the colour of the bell with nail varnish as it was brass and didn't go with the colours of the tag. I saw this tip in this month's Craft Stamper.

Materials used:-
Background stamp - Tim Holtz Holiday Knits
Reindeer - Stampers Anonymous Season's Silhouettes
Sentiment - Chocolate Baroque
Pine Needles  and Santa - Hobby Arts "From our home to yours"
Bell from stash
Die - Nestabilities
Distress inks - stormy sky and evergreen bough
