Created this Christmas Tag with distressing in mind.
For Tag base I used Wreath embosing folder from Sizzix Birds & Wreath Set. Stamped the sentiment "Merry Christmas" in top right corner. Stamped "to:" in bottom left corner and "from:" in bottom right corner. Distressed the edges. Used Tim Holtz Distress Ink on the base of Tag & edges
For Tag layer I used Sizzix Ornament With Branch embossing folder. Used Stamp N Plus Chalks on the embossed image. Used Marvy Snow Marker on embossed leaves as well as the background (seen in closeup photo). Distressed the edges with Tim Holtz Paper Distresser and Distress Ink. Added 9 liquid Pearls to the ornament.
Used 2 ribbons: one light green & one white. Used Tim Holtz Distress Ink on the light green ribbon. Added ribbon to Tag.
Used a new Echo Park stamp set that Susan TenSGal of Expression Avenue sent me as a Christmas present. Susan did not wrap the stamp set since she figured I may want to use before Christmas.
