This tag is for Loll Thompson's mixed media tag challenge. Being this is my first attempt at this process I am pleased. I die cut the tag and then applied white acrylic paint through a piece of screen (look closely) and stamped the gold snowflakes on top when dry. The candle was die cut from the corrugated cardboard and stickler applied to flame. The leaves were die cut but being I didn't have a holly shape I had to do a little snipping. Now I just have to figure out how to get the picture on Loll's site.

Wow ... beautiful tag ... can't believe this is your first try at mixed media Marilynn!! Great job! Love the white background ... I can see the screen print you're talking about with the white-on-white --- very subtle but adds texture and depth. Love the pretty snowflake background. Your candle is the star!! LOVE the texture and depth ... and the glittery flame --- awesome! Thanks for playing along with my Christmas tag event! Loll xx

HOLY COW!!! This is a FIRST attempt???? Sweetie, in my studio, it's the rule of 3. It takes me THREE tries to get ANYTHING right...seriously. And if you can just snip away at leaves to create holly without even thinking about it, then I need lessons from you. I can't MOVE unless I find a tutorial telling me how to do it! NICE work!!!

This is such a beautiful tag...clean and elegant. Your sponging around the edges is perfect. The stickles on the flame and the pearls on the leaves are lovely. I missed this when you posted it, so I am so glad that I looked at your pretty gallery.
