Funkie Junkie 12 Tags of Christmas #11
This tag is my favorite of Linda's beautiful Christmas collection of Funkie Junkie Tags of Christmas. I think it's because it's totally non-traditional for Christmas, but it's loaded with fabulous, elegant details. I determined early to imitate the ink color because I've never deliberately made a brown tag before. I also clear-embossed a flourish on the tag before inking with Vintage Photo Distress ink and overstamping text in archival black. I also loved the white petals/leaves with inked edges; I made my floral centerpiece from two sizes of the Tattered Poinsettias. The pretty lace is from Funkie Junkie Boutique, and I stained it with Frayed Burlap Distress Stain (the only brown stain I have). The delicate flourish die is from Cheery Lynn.

Hello Evelyn
I can see immediately that you loved making this. It is just stunning.
I like your decision to dye the lace, it contrasts with the purity of your White flower and flourish beautifully.

Wonderful adaption of Linda's original! Love your beautiful poinsettia and the brown lace looks fantastic with it!
Totally gorgeous, Evelyn! I really love how your background came out. Your resist with the flourish is wonderful. That poinsettia die made such a fabulous flower too - love the inked edges and tips. That lace looks amazing dyed that color. A really lovely take on Tag #11 - thanks so much for sharing it with us!
Hugs,
Linda
