Red and Green

 


Time for our new challenge at Tag-Along (and ATCs) and I have chosen the theme of......

Red and Green
or Anything Goes

Hopefully this theme is apt for any tags you may be making for Christmas but it doesn't have to be Christmas as you can see from my ATC below.

My tag uses a free mag stamp set from a long time ago. When I was a teenager I had a full size sheet of wrapping paper featuring Holly Hobby (but in blue) on my wall. So this is a little bit of a throwback and reminiscence for me. It also means this tag will not be on anyone's present lol!

I fussy cut the stamp and some of the presents from the set. Then I used a luggage tag spritzed with brushos and a light shimmer spray. I then added a TH Christmas tree and some of the holly stamps from the stamp set in the background.


My ATC is yet again an inspiration from Ardyth on You Tube. She did a similar layout using a square stencil which I don't have. So I used a different one and then did some stencilling using another stencil over the top. I did a bit of faux bleaching. Then I cut two of the squares out of my waste and mounted them on top with a little bit of ALL & Create washi tape.

I'm entering my ATC into the challenge at Just Add InkStencils & Dies. I've used a stencil.

Here's our prize for this month. I do hope you can join us.

Green and red is a great choice of theme Lynn, the tag is so sweet- my daughter's 'little girl' bedroom featured Holly Hobby, in pink, so a lovely reminder for me too. The ATC looks fabulous- an interesting technique.
