how are you today?
I had lots of fun making that tag the other day, so I went ahead and created another one.
I cut the tag myself, because I don't have a tag die. Then I stamped a lot of tiny snowflakes all over the tag with Versamark ink and embossed it with fine white embossing powder. When it had cooled I carefully sponged on just a little teal and blue ink, fading out towards all sides.
Then I die cut a large snowflake from white cardstock and two smaller ones from vellum. I clear embossed the largest snowflake twice to give it a nice shine.
Then I used a strip of torn vellum to stamp the sentiment on and clear embossed it so the ink wouldn't smudge. To stack the snowflakes onto the vellum I used a brad and then I adhered the vellum at the back of the tag. To hide the glue I covered the back with another tag of the same size.
As I didn't have a matching ribbon or string I used my inkpads to dye two white pieces of ribbon. I had intened to use the color that matched better after it had dried, but I ended up using both.

Ela, what a lovely tag- so soft and delicate like a snowflake. I like how you faded out the sponging to give a muted background. This is great tag to inspire all who play along with the Friday Mashup this week. Thanks for joining in!
