Decembrrr with Heather P.

Hi, everyone! Heather P. here with my take on this month's stamp set, Decembrrr! :)



To create my first tag, I started by die cutting a tag shape, then stamping one of the snowflake images repeatedly on white CS in versamark ink before heat embossing with white powder.  Once that was done, I used a blending tool and some peacock feathers distress ink to add some beautiful color to the background.  I really love the way the images POP.  Next, I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of gray CS, and heat embossed it as well with white embossing powder.  To finish up, I adhered the sentiment to the tag front, and embellished with silver metallic twine and clear gems.


For my next tag, I started by die cutting a tag shape, then stamping the sentiment and some snowflakes in versamark before heat embossing with white powder.  I then die cut three circle garlands, and adhered them to the tag front before covering them with stickles.  I then stamped the snowman image in gray ink onto white CS, and fussy cut him out.  To finish up, I adhered the snowman to the tag front with pop dots and embellished with some unraveled twine.



For my last tag, I started by cutting a tag shape, then removing some of the CS from each side to make it a little narrower.  I then stamped three different snowflake images in pink, lime and purple over the tag base.  Next, I stamped the sentiment in versamark ink onto pink CS, and heat embossed with white powder.  I then stamped the snowman image in lime ink onto white CS, and fussy cut him out before attaching to the tag front with pop dots.  To finish up, I adhered the sentiment to the tag front with pop dots, and embellished with purple twine.

On a side note, I too wanted to let you know that this will be my last post for Avocado Arts. The past year has been amazing, and what an honor it has been to work with such phenomenal women! Thank you for everything, Michelle, you are without a doubt one of the most generous and kind-hearted people I've had the pleasure to meet through this hobby we all love so much! ♥
