Holiday Snowflake Tag
I recently got my first Tim Holtz Impresslit (Snowflake) and I was very... impressed by it, haha. I've always loved the look of dry embossing so to have something embossed AND die cut - and at the same time - is so great! The snowflakes look really wonderful with the extra dimension from the embossing.
Once the snowflakes were cut, I lightly watercolored them with gray paint. To add some sparkle, I mixed Pearl Ex Silver with water into a mini mister and partially sprayed the snowflakes.
I decided to use the snowflakes on a small gift tag. I colored the tag layer with Distress Oxide Sprays in Speckled Egg and Evergreen Bough. Both colors combine to create a gorgeous, cool wintry look. For added interest, I used the Ledger Script stamp on top.
The final touch is a sentiment from Tim Holtz Sketch Greenery, which I heat embossed onto black cardstock.
I am entering this into the Funkie Junkie Boutique Challenge - Tag It.

This is so beautiful, Catherine! The colors on your tag are stunning. I really love the Snowflake Impresslit, and I'm scratching my head over why impresslits were discontinued. Love my drawer full of them!
