Just Us Girls #215 Colour Challenge

Trying something new for me. I made a tag. Not just any tag, this one is HUGE. I had a stamp that I wanted to use and it was rather big, but that did not stop me. I just used my Cameo to cut this 6 X 4 1/2 tag of Dark Chocolate CS. The stamp is Tim Holtz, Christmas Blueprint. Love'n it! So I thought I should make it vintage. I stamped it on Kraft CS with Dark Brown ink and sponged the whole thing with distressed Vintage Photo ink. I cut out branches of the tree and "pop" each one out with dimensionals to make layers. Each little ornament is also done like that. I added glossy accents and some clear rock candy on the star, and tree, and the ornaments. Now, I bet you are wondering about the red layer! Those are pearlized Mica chips that are adhered with clear embossing powder. Then I added the red ribbon.

I am entering this tag in the JUGS #215 challenge (Red, Kraft and Dark Brown)
The picture does not show thee colors very well, sorry!

Since this tag is HUGE, it will need to go on a HUGE gift. Maybe Santa will bring me one?

    GREAT take on the challenge. I love that color combo by the way. I am a big fan of Tim Holtz architectural stamps and have wanted to get a set. Love all your texture here, very creative. I have never used that mica, love how it looks. Well done!!
