Time for a New Challenge

     Hi everyone. Happy Tuesday. It's time again for a new challenge at Try It on Tuesday. The last 2 weeks flew by, and thanks to all of you who joined our Halloween challenge. 

    Now that one holiday is over, it's time to move onto another holiday. This time our challenge has a Christmas theme and we want you to GET READY FOR CHRISTMAS.

   I decided to make some tags to put on a few special gifts. I had so much fun that I ended up making over a dozen tags.  As you probably know, the beauty of tags is that they don't take very long  and you can try out lots of ideas. Here's a few of those that I made. 

   To make these I used various die cuts, inks, stamps, paper, glitter glues, tapes, markers, paints, paint pens, and other ephemera. For the sake of brevity, I'll mention I used several Tim Holtz products, Stickles, some Little B dies, Cornish Heritage Farm dies, and some Hero Arts stamp and dies.

   Here's one of the tags enlarged. I'll also be linking this one up to Tag Along (and ATC's). They’re latest challenge is texture.

   To make this tag, I covered the tag with some swirly green paper, and then I used purple ink along the edges.  I cut out the 3 lightbulbs using an old set of dies from Little B (Christmas Icons set). I glued them down, colored in the base and used silver Stickles glitter glue on them. I drew in the cord, and also outlined the quote which is from a TH stamp set. To finish I added a small piece of velvet ribbon and also some TH washi tape above it.  I like the texture from the velvet ribbon and the Stickles. 

   Don't forget that at Try It on Tuesday our challenge runs for the next 2 weeks. We accept any type of art as long as it relates to the challenge.

   And definitely check out the other design team pieces because I know tags aren't everybody's thing to make.

   I hope you're feeling like Christmas and will join us  at TIOT for this challenge.
