Started by recycling a manilla folder to make the Tag base. Used TH Tag die. Used Distress Paint first. Allowed Tag to dry after base coat of Distress Paint. Used Distress Stains. Spritzed Tag with water. Use heat tool to dry. Stamped snowflakes. Used heat tool so stamped snowflakes would not smudge.
Did not have the new TH product frosted plastic so I improvised and used a clear piece of plastic. Embossed the clear piece of plastic with embossing folder to give it a snowfall look. Stapled the embossed plastic to the Tag base.
Do not have the TH block dies so I chose to use only the Th script dies. Cut the words 'winter' 'wishes' out using TH script dies. Used Xyron sticker maker tool to put adhesive on back of the words. Placed the words on plastic embossed layer on Tag.
Cut out greenery using TH die. Added greenery to plastic embossed layer on Tag.
Cut the Prancing Reindeer out of grungeboard. Used paint & TH Distress Inks to color Reindeer. Sanded the Reindeer. Used TH Distress Ink on edges of Reindeer. Did not have the glue Th used so I improvised and used VersaMark ink on Reindeer. Sprinkled glitter on Reindeer. The VersaMark ink acted as a glue for the glitter. Added a wreath, red bow & jingle bell around Reindeer's neck. Added the finished Reindeer to the Tag.
Added ribbon.
There was a lot of detail in creating this & if I left any item out or for additional info you can look at the Tim Holtz site listed in the challenge list for further info.
