Hello my lovelies! Today I have something very different for you . . . a tag for the wonderful Loll of Stamping With Loll where she has this fabulous mixed media tag challenge going on. There are loads of guest designers with some amazingly creative tags, that you just have to go and see!
I had never attempted mixed media before, but I found it to be quite a fun thing to do! This is one my attempts.
I made the base background by spraying some ink on to a piece of card stock and left that to dry. When it was dry I sponged some distress inks through a stencil in a few places. Then when that was dry I cut it out using a stitched tag die.
Next, I sponged some sparkle gel through a star stencil and also left that to dry. Meantime, I punched some snowflakes out of glitter card and stamped the sentiment in Versamark on to some vellum and the companion part to the sentiment on to black card stock and then heat embossed both in white.
Finally, I assembled the tag, and added a piece of satin ribbon and some sparkle gems to the centres of the snowflakes and that was me done!
Why not come and join us . . . there are even prizes to be won! As always, I appreciate you all. have a wonderful day! Hazel xx

You are so talented, my friend! I LOVE your first attempt at mixed media ... seriously, it looks like you've been doing it forever! Great mix of elements with the sprays, stenciling, sparkle gel and die-cut embellishments. Everything just works perfectly together. Love the pairing of the two sentiments --- I need to do that! :) Thanks so much for sharing at my Twelve Tags of Christmas event! xx
