Hello sweet friends!
Welcome to another mid-month challenge at Dies R US! The theme for this challenge is "SNOW"!! And I am sure many of you have already seen the pretty white stuff or may be looking at it right outside your window! Brrr it is cold here in New Jersey and we are expected to see our first snow flurries tomorrow! Maybe we will have a nice white Christmas! Speaking of Christmas, wow! Like really it is only 10 days away!!! **Doing the happy dance** I LOVE Christmas and one of the things I associate with Christmas is SNOW! So here is what I made for this challenge today!
I used the "Lawn Fawn Snow Day Stamps" and it's coordinating Snow Day die set to make this adorable tag! You can find these cute stamps and dies in the Dies R Us store HERE.
I used my Tag Dies and Tag layer dies from My Creative Time for my tag. The tag layer was cut using some PP from October Afternoon and the tag was cut using some Canson XL 140lb watercolor paper. I used my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors to create a light watercolor washed background using two different shades of blue. I wanted to keep the background very light, to give a blizzardy look. I added some snowy hills that I cut by hand and decided to add some snow to give the illusion of a blizzard with the falling snow! I added the snow by using a snow stencil and some texture paste. Then I set that to dry. While that dried, I stamped and colored the trees and that adorable bunny from the Lawn Fawn Snow Day Stamps using my zig watercolor markers. I cut them out using the Snow Day dies and then started to build my scene by adding in the trees. I added foam adhesive to the back of the trees and popped them up, some behind the hills and some on the outside of the hills to give depth. I was trying to create a "forest" look. The sweet little bunny is also popped up on foam adhesive and enjoying his snow day! The sentiment came from an older MCT set and I thought it was perfect for this tag! To finish this tag off, I added some green and white bakers twine to the top and tied it into a bow and used my Deco Art snow writer to add "fresh fallen" snow to the trees. Then I took my white gel pen and added in a few "snow dots" on the trees and the bunny, so that it makes it look like it is snowing and coming down hard! :) I hope you like my little snowy tag!
