Winter Doll Tag

Happy November!  Where did October go?  I love the fall and winter months and want to enjoy every moment of them.  I always seem to have more energy this time of year.  I think I have the opposite of the seasonal disorder that afflicts a lot of people during the winter months as I seem to get it in the summer months.

It is time to start getting ready for the holidays so I hope I won't be too far behind on the card and tag making as the time draws nearer.  Today, I have a winter tag to share featuring a Julie Nutting doll stamp.


I began with a manila tag base and inked the edges.  I don't remember what pattern paper I used as I made this tag a couple of months ago and forgot to write it down.  The snowflakes are stickers from K&Co as well as Martha Stewart.  The doll was stamped onto watercolor paper, colored with Copics, and adhered to the tag with foam dots.  Her dress and hat were paper pieced.  I used Glossy Accents to give some shine to the fur trim of the hat, the bow, and the boots.  A bit of trim was added to the bottom of the tag and a piece of ribbon to the top.


This was my first tag for the holidays and I have since made two more.  I really need to start making some holiday cards now so I don't fall behind.  I never seem to allow myself enough time!

That's it for me today.  We gained an extra hour of sleep last night in setting the clocks back and that was a wonderful thing!  Thank you so much for stopping by and for your sweet comments.  Have a fantastic week!
