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.
