12 Tags of Christmas-Day 12

t!m pulled out all the stops for the final tag of 2011. His tag is totally amazing and you can see it here:

I have Tissue Tape, but not his new Tissue Paper, so I made do! I used some old
K & Co word paper, then covered it in Caludine Helmuth Studio Multi-Medium and attached some of my Tissue Tape, scrunching it as I went along. I also don't have t!m's house dies (I KNOW!!! Need to fix that!) but I know how to cut a house out of GrungePaper, so that's what I did! Then ran them thru the Vagabond with a couple of different embossing folders. Used my Sakura White Pen to highlight the embossed bits and used my Fiskars Threading Water punch for the "roofs." I used Wild Honey and Broken China Distress Stains and water to color them, then attached them to the houses. Used some Liquid Applique and some glitter on top of it then used the heat gun to dry and puff it up. I used
t!m's method for the cutting of the flower, but I used an old dictionary page. Added a bit of Diamond Stickles to the ends once I'd gotten it the way I liked it.

I'm so thankful to t!m, Mario, Ted and Michelle and  inlinkz who made it possible for all of us from all corners of the globe to share our work on t!m's blog. Thank all of you who have visited my blog and left such heartfult and wonderful comments. It truly means so much to me. I hope you'll come back and visit, because I'll be coming to visit you! Until we meet again...Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to one and all.
