This month's prompt from the Dirty Dozen at Splitcoaststampers to get some Christmas done early can be seen here in the special forums for Fan Club Members. I gave it a lot of thought and I decided this would be a tag for me this month rather than an actual card. I find that I do not actually mail too many Christmas cards that are snowmen. but, I do a very small few of "winter" cards or seasonal things and I have so many of them I thought maybe I should start doing a few as tags..
This is a Joy Crafts snowman in a jar die that I found at Frantic Stamper a long while ago and I bought it because, I actually have a dry snowglobe of a snowman in a Blue vintage canning Jar that I picked up at a Shepherds Market booth a few years ago and I just thought that was the neatest thing. When I was poking around in my dies to do this I thought Oh, maybe it would work on a tag. ( its kind of small in real life) So I cut it from a scrap of cold press Arches and added a layer of Daniel smith watercolor to it.
An even longer time ago I had these pre-made tags that were just plain white and I sprayed them in solid sparkly spritz colors I have on hand and set them aside for someday. I fished out one of the Aqua sparkle ones for the background here, cut the string off and then fished through a piece of fluffy white yarn that came to me in a fiber swap as a long time ago. The sentiment is tied on that with some Sparkly iridescent cord from May Arts and has a stamped sentiment from Lili of the Valley tied on. I thought about adding some stickles glitter glue to this but, so far have resisted that thought. That's about it from me, I hope you are doing well & thanks for stopping by.
