My mixed media are ink, sprays, stencil mask, die cuts, Stickles, and ribbon.
I started by placing a snowflake mask over mixed media cs and then sprayed with a couple of different blue sprays (sorry, I didn't make a note of which ones). One gave heavier coverage, the other a lighter more speckled spray.
I then trimmed it down into a tag shape.
I die cut the bird / branch die twice and glued them together, keeping the bits that come out of the bird in place on the back one. I then painted it with various brown and red Distress inks.
I created a little scrap of smooshed cs in the same browns as I used on the branch and die cut the sentiment.
I glued both on the tag and added red Stickles to the berries. It was a bit flimsy so I cut a piece of white cs, leaving it slightly wider on the two long sides, and taped the tag to it.
I pressed the same brown Distress inks on my mat, spritzed them, and dragged some TH Crinkle Ribbon through it to use on the top of the tag.

So beautiful. I love the look of sprayed backgrounds, but I always seem to end up with a big splatter just where I don't want it. Your little robin is just darling. I really like your choice of matching brown for the sentiment and ribbon.
