12 tags of christmas - day 5 with SSS&S

Hi everyone!
Today I wanted to combine the 12 tags of Christmas with the Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge, because the 12 tags are taking up all my time :). This week's challenge is show some elements of time.
I was a bit scared for this days tag, because I don't have any of the supplies that Tim used! I have no alcohol inks, no reflections stamps and not the die he used. I wanted to run to the store and  get me some reflections stamps and alcohol ink. Just in time I realized that the stores are closed on Monday. That made me freak out  more. Fortunately, once I calmed down, I had an idea and I thought of alternatives I could use for this tag. And I'm very pleased with today's result!






When I buy alcohol inks and reflection stamps, I'm gonna give these techniques a try! They're amazing!


The materials:
  • Distress Ink: festive berries, black soot, barn door
  • Stamps: Studio G
  • Vintage tinsel
  • Ribbon
  • Mesh
  • Rhinestones
  • Twine
  • Embossing Powder: white, silver bells
  • Versamark
  • Clock
  • Charm

Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope to see you tomorrow!
Sandra

  14. Wow Sandra, This is great, I love that you put your own slant on Tim's tag and what you have created is stunning. What a beautiful clock centre piece and I love the red colour of the tag and how it contrasts with your pretty embellies. Hugs, Teresa x
