Hi and welcome to a post that is all about Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags extravaganza. Today Uniko are the featured company, so the BA's are joining in with some ideas for you.
Here's my take using some of Uniko's 'snowy' sets!
I don't do shabby chic really but I do love and admire those made by others and after seeing a card on Pinterest, I was inspired to turn the idea into a tag, but in my own way!
I die cut a couple of circles from white card, a stitched one and a slightly larger plain one. I wanted the texture of the stitching and the only other die I had that was slightly larger in diameter was a plain one! Basically just use what you have!
Using the smaller circle, I masked off sections and secured it in my MISTI, before adding the stamping and inking. I went with a brown and blue colour palette, using shades of brown from Altenew's Warm Gray set and the blue was Tumbled Glass DI.
The stamped snowflakes are from Uniko's Stunning Snowflakes and Snowflake Serenade sets. The large die cut one is also Uniko, the large Sparkling Snowflake die, which I cut down to fit the tag, adding a punched snowflake from the stash on top. I couldn't find any sparkly card the right colour, so added Versamark all over the die cut and added some WOW white sparkle puffy EP., the smaller snowflake was edged in Tumbled Glass DI.
The middle panel was stamped using the Christmas Background Builders set and the bottom right with two stamps from the Background Builders Classic set, plus a couple of punched snowflakes edged in DI.
To finish, I added clear Nuovo drops in Grey Mist in between sections and in groups of 3 over the right hand panels, silver stickles to the brown snowflake centers and pearls to the die cut ones.
Once dry, I sandwiched the silver die cut hanger between the two circles and added a bow of blue, brown and jute string.
There's lots more Uniko tag inspiration over on the Uniko blog as well as LOTS of tag inspiration over on Tracey's blog.
