Funkie Junkie 12 Tags of Christmas - Week Nine

   Welcome back to the 9th Funkie Junkie Christmas Tag. I adored making this one. Now that I have discovered Faded Jeans DI, I was well and truly in my comfort zone!

     I didn't have the Brushed Pewter DS but....I found that I did have Faded Jeans DS!!! I have no idea when I bought that!  I swiped some Faded Jeans DS on the craft mat and had a think of how to replicate the silver...I grabbed a silver glimmer spray and sprayed the Faded Jeans DS with that. I swirled the tag through the sparkly inky puddle and dried it, dabbing a few more times to add texture. I dabbed a bit of Frayed Burlap DI around the edge of the tag.

   I didn't have a snowflake diecut so I decided to stamp some snowflakes - The main things that inspired me about this tag were the silver heart and the roses, but I really felt the colour scheme needed some snow!

    I embossed the snowflakes with silver embossing powder and then stamped some music in Potting Soil Archival ink in the corners of the tag.

    I decided to use plastic roses for the tag rather than make them from die cuts. I had a gorgeous rose embellishment that I wanted to use so I painted it silver and then brushed it with Treasure Gold in Pewter - which is such a lovely tarnished silver colour.

    I did the same for the little rose shaped beads too.

 I had the perfect item to use for the heart...I had bought these silver heart shapes and so I stuck this on to the tag and added pearl beads.

I got some holly diecuts and covered them with glossy accents glue and sprinkled them with Pumice Stone glitter.

   I painted a flourish die cut with silver paint

    The 'Merry Christmas' was stamped and embossed with silver embossing powder onto a piece of card that had been covered in Frayed Burlap DI and edged with Walnut Stain DI.

     I added a little spritz of silver glimmer spray to the sign too.

Ok...I admit it....I was in total SILVER mode here!!!

     I made a music sheet with torn card that had been covered with Frayed Burlap DI and stamped with black archival ink. I rolled up the bottom of the music sheet.

  Around the edges I used Aged Silver Frantage powder which is such a perfect match for the Pewter Treasure Gold used on the roses.

   At the top of the tag, instead of a bow, I added a dolls house decoration. This was originally meant to go above a door but I decided to use it on the tag. I painted it silver and added a bit of the Pewter Treasure Gold to match the roses.

     And there is the ninth Funkie Junkie tag! I hope you enjoyed seeing it - soon I will be able to put them all together and hang them all up.....I can't wait!!!
