New Year's Snowman Tag

Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here, and I’m excited to share a mixed-media New Year’s tag featuring stamps, dies, and a stencil from Time For Tea Designs.

To start, I spread Wendy Vecchi's translucent embossing paste over the Movie Star 6 x6" Stencil onto a Tim Holtz mixed-media heavy stock tag using a palette knife. Once the paste dried, I picked up pigment from the tips of my Distress Watercolour pencils with a wet brush and applied it to the tag’s surface. I layered the colours, adding more pigment and water to create a soft, blended effect. For an extra touch, I spritzed the tag with my Distress Sprayer to add droplets of water, then set it aside to air dry. I used the following Distress Watercolour colours: Saltwater Taffy, Festive Berries, Carved Pumpkin, and Scattered Straw.

Next, I die-cut the Happy New Year Sentiment Die using both navy blue and silver cardstock. I glued the two pieces together with liquid glue, offsetting them slightly to create a shadow effect, then adhered the sentiment to the tag.

I stamped images from the Snow Much Fun and Happy New Year Critters stamp sets, then colored them with my Copic markers. After cutting them out with the coordinating dies, I added accents with a white gel pen for extra detail.

To finish, I added sparkles to the edges of some of the images using a Quickie Glue Pen and Lawn Fawn Prisma Glitter. I adhered the stamped images to the tag with either liquid glue or 1mm double-sided foam tape for added dimension.
