The 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2019- Day 20

Hello my friends,

Five days left in Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags!  Yes, we are on day 20.  Click on the link to see all the excitement and details of the hop.   Today’s sponsor is Jillian Vance Designs.  I hadn’t heard of Jillian Vance Designs before, so I went over to have a look around.  You can click on her name to check her out.    My tag was inspired by Lisa Bzibziak (JV DT member)…I have already given her the nickname of Zibbi…lol.  I really liked her Craft tag. Click here to see Lisa's tag.

Here are the supplies I used to create my tag: Paper Studios (Hobby Lobby brand) craft cardstock, Avery Elle Stitched Postage Die, Magnolia Doohickeys Antique Tag (ooh wee I went waaay back for this one), Stampendous Frantage Embossing Powder, Firefly Stamp & Cut set.  I bought this at Tuesday Morning just this evening (TX, USA $4.99).  This is a stamp and die set with a deer, a wreath, snowflakes and sentiments.  I believe there is a die for the deer, the wreath and one other thing.  I only used the snowflakes from the set.   Additionally, I used Tim Holtz (Sizzix), Holiday Greens thinlets dies, Versa Mark, and White Embossing Powder.   Oh yeah, the embossing powder is a mixture with some corse glitter and white embossing powder (might have some Mica in there too).  You can see how it melts in the close up.  Some areas are more raised than others, giving it that antiquish-vintage look.  I made the splatters using my Tim Holtz Splatter Brush, white acrylic paint, and water.   I tied it all together with some Moss Green twine.  Another love, love tag!   Well, thank you all for stopping by, see yins (you) tomorrow.

Vintage Hot Air Balloon

Happy Fall Y'all!
My favorite seasons are starting..Fall and Winter, yea-aaah.  Harvest Time, Thanksgiving and Christmas.  No money, but I'm still excited about the seasons (lol). Sooo, let's get this show on the road. Let me start by announcing the October challenge at Eclectic Ellapu...drum roll please...one of my favorite themes...Vintage or Shabby Chic!!!  The pink team's challenge was to do something vintage, while our fab-fab purple team's challenge is Autumn.  My project inspiration came from the amaaaaazing Einat Kessler (Click on the link for all her YouTube videos). I decided to do a Hot Air Balloon!  Einat has so many great video tutorials, but the one that really got me was the Hot Air Balloon.  Her hot air balloon is a cross between vintage and Steampunk.   You can see Einat's awesome Hot Air Balloon video tutorial here.  Check out my finished project below and afterward let the Autumn breeze take you over to our October challenge at Eclectic Ellapu for more inspiring cards and projects; hope to see you there!
