I did the same thing -- but with entirely different imagery than his. He did the COOLEST technique with shrink plastic (see the holly cluster at the top of his tag?), and while I have the melting pot and the UTEE required, I didn't have the clear shrink plastic. I'm gonna try this though - sooooo cool! (Thanks Tim)
I cut Tim's tree out of chipboard backed patterned paper, which is Prima's 'North Country'. The chipboard die cuts are from the same line.
I covered a die cut tag with Tim's music printed tissue paper, making sure to wrinkle it as I adhered it. Then I swiped it with Distress Ink and heat set it, finally running it through the Big Shot with a Sizzix snowflakes embossing folder. The snowflakes were inked with brown Momento ink and a sponge.
I used some paper tape under the area where I was going to attach the tree, then wrapped the tree trunk with Pear Pizzaz seam binding (Stampin' Up). The red and green bling was sitting on my stamping area so I added that as well.
Finally, I took a silver star brad, pressed it into a Versamark ink pad, then embossed it with red powder. I added green, red, and blue grosgrain ribbons to the tag top.
Thanks for stopping by today!
your tag is excellent!

Ah, I've been waiting to see what you would do with the shrink plastic/Utee technique. I have been following but not making the 12 tags. Made notes on all the techniques I want to try and that was definitely one of them. I have the plastic but will have to improvise on the melting pot. Play day?
ReplyDeleteI don't like that tree for some reason the die that is. for some reason your paper just totally transform it and makes it look good :) Another great tag!
