OK This is NOT my favorite tag - but since this was my third effort at it I just went with it!

It is inspired by THIS tag again from the first year of tags.

This technique and I do not get along so well. What I ended up doing was stamping in versamark the snowflakes and let it snow sentiment, embossing and letting cool. I then used alcohol inks and my dauber and inked over the whole tag. I then wiped the ink off the snowflakes letting the tag show threw. I added some grungeboard alphas that I painted white with the snowcap paint dauber - oh how I love his paint daubers!

I then added some baby blue stickles to them. I tried to make it look like they were falling like the snowflakes. I added some bling to the middle of the flakes and some white paint to the edges.

Again - not my fave - any suggestions?

Oh this also qualifies for the 7 Kids Challenge Winter Wonderland.

 Hi! Feeling better!

So have you been checking out Tim Holtz's twelve days of tags? I have! I have followed him and especially his 12 days of tags since he started it 4 years ago! And I have never actually completed a tag.........until now!

I finally sucked it up and bought some alcohol inks and distress inks (for the second time but that's another story)

and attempted to create something Tim worthy!

This tag was inspired by Tim's Day 4 Tag seen here.

I said inspired by not copied!

It was also inspired by this tag HERE from last year.

I told you I have followed his tags for 4 years but never completed one so I have a lot of ideas and techniques and tags swirling together!

I started out stamping the snowman and flakes in Broken China and then embossing them with clear EP. I then rubbed silver paint dauber over the top. I used a wet paper towel to wipe the paint off the embossed areas creating a kind of resist. I stamped Seasons Greetings and added a swirl bling, and bling to the bottom. I inked up some adornments with broken china and tied some stretchy silver cord around it with some baubles hanging from it! I am super pleased with how it turned out and it was really pretty simple!

In my search for all things Tim I found 7 Kids College Fund and this tag fits this week's challenge for Winter Wonderland! 
It also works for another great site for Tim products' challenge this week Simon Says Stamp!
