It's almost 1 a.m.! You would think I could get a tag finished earlier on a Saturday . . . and now it's Sunday! This will be a very short post.I was really enjoying how all my tags coordinate with one another, but I am getting really tired of blue tags. This tag based on Tim Holtz' Day 4 tag, was really fun to do. I actually went to Archiver
s and bought the facets, but I had a hard time getting the alcohol inks to behave correctly on the back. See Tim's Steps 3 - 5. Instead I used an Azure StazOn pad, and it worked like a charm.
THE NEXT MORNING: Okay, now that I've had a good night's sleep, I feel much better, and I'm ready to give a few more details.
I started with some pretty blue background paper with "Seasons Greetings" printed all over it and added some funky Stampin' Up snowflakes embossed with white embossing powder heavily fortified with glitter. The ice skaters, "Post Card," and the label are also from Stampin' Up, and the skaters were colored (quickly, not well) with Copic markers.
The lace at the bottom didn't get added until this morning. I woke up and remembered that a year or so ago I bought ribbon with blue beads in it. It was perfect!
The gems, obviously, were placed in a free-form manner to compliment the tag.
Now I'm off to check out Tim's tag for today! Oh . . . and go to church. Places to go, deities to see . . .

I thought I'd commented on this, but I guess I just oohed and ahhed in my own mind.
I LOVE how yours turned out. So pretty and wintry. I think the skaters are the perfect stamp for this and they don't look that badly colored to me.
If you're sick of blue, you should be happy with today's - get to work! I can't stay up late every night.
