{my sweet earth}: Warming Up Winter One Snowman At A Time...

Well here we are at the midway mark in November and just over four weeks away from Christmas! Whooooosh... that's the sound of 2016 as it flies by at light speed! Grin Today for my design team post here at the My Sweet Earth blog I am sharing these two lovely tags I created specifically to start a little glow in the heart of the person I am sending them to...

I am using Susan's One Of A Kind Winter stamp from Unity Stamps. Susan created this wonderful snowman stamp a few years ago and it is still one of my very favorite stamps. I enjoy creating something different with him every Christmas Season.

This year I stamped my image onto a piece of cardboard that came with something I bought... it had the most lovely embossed circles on it and I love the way my snowmen look after I colored them using my Zig Clean Color brush tip markers.

For the tag backgrounds I used gesso and pastes mixed media style and then added embossing powders which I melted over the tag to create texture...

But for this tag I stamped the house and sun from Susan's Create Your Day Unity Stamp set - once on the tag and once on a dictionary page which I cut out and pasted to the background.

And of course the part I enjoyed the most was adding the embellishments and a thick layer of Rangers Stickles until those tags sparkled. These were fun to make and will be even more fun to put on a package and gift away.

Thanks for joining me today and I am sending you a warm winter hug from my Snowmen!
