Polar Pals Tag

The Card Concept have a fun challenge going on at the moment.  They are looking for a snowman/winter themed tag and I couldn't resist playing along.  I'm calling this tag Clean & Layered.  I'm also entering this tag into the die-cuts challenge at Digi Sketch Challenges and the Christmas/Holiday challenge at Simon Says Stamp.

I cut a tag from watercolor paper using a Mama Elephant die, then sponged a night sky before stenciling snow with embossing paste and the SSS Falling Snow stencil.  The hills were cut with Mama Elephant Landscape Trio dies and the snowman is from Polar Pals.  I stamped the word "Happy" from SSS Peace on Earth set and cut it out.

  

I wanted to match the die-cut word "Christmas" with the sky so I swiped some Seedless Preserves ink onto some white card and then cut my word.  The hills are mounted on foam tape as is the snowman.  The tag was finished off with some black twine and the inevitable Wink of Stella - in fact the WoS was flowing very freely out of the brush and was still wet when I took the photos :)

Thanks for visiting.
