12 Tags of Christmas - day 2

Hi there.
Don't you just love these tags?! I really enjoyed day 2 and am so pleased that I got the Reindeer die in time.
Here is my interpretation of the tag; oh but first; the coffee! I've decided I can't drive into town each morning for Starbucks so this morning I made a lovely layered vanilla coffee to get me in the mood!

Delicious! Now the tag.....

So; as usual I did not have everything so had to improvise. No kraft resist paper so I had to make my own. I inked the tag with Frayed Burlap distress ink and stamped the background from the seasonal silhouettes in coffee archival. I used the snowflake stamp from reindeer flight to create a resist with UTEE and then covered the tag with the picket fence distress stain and after it was dry I coloured with Iced Spruce distress ink. I love the way the picket fence toned down the colours!
I used the vintage lace die, inked in ice spruce again, for the bottom edges and used smaller brads to keep the proportions right.

I love how the sanding of the token really pops the words out and will definitely be doing that again.
But my favourite part has to be the deer

I just love how the canvas gives the impression of fur; I used tinsel for the garland and a small heart charm. I also decided to used the enamel accents to add some "Bambi spots" in white and black for the eye.
You can find Tims tag HERE and there's also a place for you to link up your project.
Have fun everyone who's doing the Tags; and if you aren't, I hope you have a blessed and creative afternoon.
