This started as a very mundane, neutral and pale gelli print. I pulled out my airbrush and added color with copic R's and YR's over stencils although the pattern did not show up well. Having invested in product to foil and failing miserably, I decided to just put the whole thing through the laminator with a sheet of foil and surprise! Small gold flecks adhered to the paint leaving a shine on the background. I next cut out the Tim Holtz tree from the tag along with the Tim Holtz mixed media die. Die cut again from Shimmer Sheetz and inlaid the pieces including the tiny dots from the mixed media die. Insane, I know. No room to stamp so used my favorite flourish stamp from Inkadinkado and stamped it in the lower corner and embossed in gold. Stitched a small star for more texture.

Each of your tags is a mini masterpiece. I zoomed in on this to enjoy all the textures and patterns . The gold really looks like it is melting. The pink and gold color combo is lovely. You should get a mini tree and hang a 'll your tags on it for a beautiful holiday decoration. You are the creative technique queen.

Wow, this is remarkable, Nancy! The colors are gorgeous, inlaid gold tree is striking, effects achieved with the laminator are beautiful, stitched star is lovely, and cording and bead are a great finish to the tag. All of these elements make this an outstanding tag!! I need you as a teacher!! Hugs!!!
