It is the 25th of November, one month away from CHRISTMAS, and Day 25 of Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags!!! Sounds like it's the last day, but if you've participated in the past, you know we may just have a bonus day tucked up our sleeve. But in the meantime, it really is Day 25, and our guest and sponsor today is Pretty Pink Posh!
For my tags today, I decided to go both cute and classy. The cute one first, of course:
With a little masking, I placed an igloo behind my wintry, bundled-up girl. The igloo looks grey in the photo, but it's really watercolored in sparkly white Gansai Tambi paint. I added a lighter coat of the same paint to the snow, and some Twinkling H2Os for the sky. With all the shimmer, I decided I didn't need any extra on her fur-trimmed hood. Instead of adding a sentiment to the already-full front, I made this a flip-open tag, with the sentiment on the second layer.
I haven't made many floral tags this month, so I used a beautiful amaryllis set for my second tag:
I also haven't used watercolour powders this month, so got out my shimmery pink Pixie Paint to colour this amaryllis bloom. The tag base is upcycled from some promotional junk mail, with the added bonus that it's white on the other side, for writing on. I added a smaller tag with a simple sentiment.
For today's card, I used a Pretty Pink Posh set that I had to have after seeing designers use it last year!
Since it's Day 25, I thought it only appropriate to use a tag on my card front! ;) I love these little sign-bearing images, and there haven't been nearly enough penguins this month, so he was my choice. While I could have stamped some snowflakes around him, the more obvious choice seemed to be some classic Pretty Pink Posh sparkling sequins.
If you've been playing along, I hope like me you've found it helped November to fly by a little more quickly! Remember, you can be eligible to win one of the many prizes by making tags inspired by the designers' tags you see, and/or by commenting on designers' tags. And yes, come back tomorrow for one final bonus day!
