Christmas Tags

I didn't get as many tags done as I wanted to...however I did get all my Christmas cards done!  Next year I will start making tags in January (like I did for my Christmas card) and that way I *should* have plenty done for next year! Here are a couple of the tags I did finish.   Both of the tags were made with products from The Greetery.    

Altenew Educator Certification Program - All About Layering 1

 This is my first project for the Altenew Educator Certification Program. I made 2 cards for this project. Both cards used the Craft your life Garden Rose stamp set.  On the first card took a piece of watercolor cardstock and squished oxide ink on my glass work surface,  sprayed it with some water and dabbed the panel a few times, drying the panel in between each pass.   I used distress oxide inks for the background as they are water reactive.  After the panel dried I sprayed it with Altenew jet black spray and then to add a little bit of dimension, I took a stencil and used texture paste over it. I also used a text stamp in the upper left hand corner which is barely visible but adds a subtle touch. The sentiment is from the Altenew Hugs and Hello set and stands out perfectly on the background.  The larger panel and the hugs sentiment are cut from black glitter paper. Little silver baubbles finish off the card.  On this card, I didn't use all three layers. That is one thing I love

Altenew program!

  YAY! I have been invited to participate in Altenew's educator certification program.  I am looking forward to moving outside of my comfort zone :)  I will be taking classes and posting my projects on this blog and on my instagram so stay tuned!!

My first attempt at "MIXED MEDIA"

 I am still trying to find my cardmaking "style" and honestly I am not sure if I ever will since I am drawn to so many different ones.  On this card I tried my hand at "mixed media".  I find I really like that style but it seemed intimidating. I used Tim Holtz mica spray on the background and then stamped over it using the Hero Arts Novel Prose prints stamp.  You can barely see it but it is my favorite part of the background (it's text from Alice in Wonderland)
