Day 5

We're up to Day 5 if you're following Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of Christmas.  I went out on a limb and chose a non-Christmas theme.  I did learn that the more alcohol ink on the felt and the less pouncing you do on the acrylic tag will = less marbling so your solid image is much easier to see when wiped off.

Tim stuff used:  Tag & Bookplate die, mini branch & acorn dies; Seasonal Reflections stamp, Calendar 2 stamp; Kraft Core 20, 21, 24; charm clip

Ranger stuff:  Peach Bellini, Sunset Orange, Terra Cotta alcohol inks; Jet Black archival ink; Tea Dye, Gathered Twigs distress inks; Glossy Accents

Misc. stuff used:  acrylic packaging, pumpkin button

My Wendy Vecchi version my alcohol inks were much more solid so the image really stands out.  Lesson learned!  Unfortunately the Glossy Accents shows up more around the edge of the tag since I used lighter colors.  Sigh.

Studio 490 stuff:  Art-Fully Said (flower), Make Mine Mini Art (butterfly, text) All About Art (polka dot background) stamp sets

Tim stuff:  Tag & Bookplate die
