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!
What a beautiful tag! Love the doll and the snowflakes really look like they've been embossed, love it! :) xx
