VLVS Tag Blog Hop Day 2

Lots of ideas for day one, here is Day 2's tag.  Remember to comment each day for a chance to win Viva Las Vegas plate #1363! (See Day one for the image).


This was a fun tag to create!!  The tag is acrylic and I sandwiched the image and backing behind the tag and added ribbon and Merry Christmas on the top.  There is 2 jump rings so I can add a couple gold charms to hang.  Notice that Santa has been cut from his shopping cart - use parts of images and words to create whole new designs.

The paper used is by Robin's Nest, has sparkly snowflakes.  I used Memories Irridescent Mist over both the paper and the stamped image to add extra sparkle.  I used my favorite metallic gel pen for Santa's suit. 





To glue the paper and designed Santa to the tag, Use 3-D Crystal Lacquer sparingly over the whole surface.  Ok, I used my finger to spread it flatly over the surface and then pressed the tag on top of the design.  I used more lacquer to add the Chrismas words.

The starting of the hop is at our DT's blog Terri Sproul.  To continue the blog hop go to LC- Jesse's blog.  Comment on all the tags for a chance to win plate #1363!

  17. It has never once occurred to me to use my gel pens to colour in any of my stamping projects. Such a great effect - I will definitely try it out!
