You must go see Tim's tag #11 then see how I used what I had to recreate it in a slightly different way! He has a video showing how to use the Melting Pot, UTEE (Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel) and shrink plastic to make the pretty holly on my tag. See it on the top left there? I was SO glad that I had bought the Melting Pot several years ago and had it in a drawer in my craft room! NOW I know something fun to do with it!
It's a good thing we have come to the end of Tim's challenges - I really need to get cracking on decorating some baskets for my bosses and co-workers food gifts!! I just have to finish Tag #12...............

ReplyDeleteGorgeous! What a fab image, so traditional, and I love the holly leaves. So festive, not long to go now!
ReplyDeleteI so hear you about getting back to other things, Julia! I am really liking your background here...so much like the Tim tag...seems you've got the 'flicking' down perfect...great work using that vintage Santa. Rock on 'round that tree.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tag Julia.

Very nice tag!
ReplyDeleteJulia, I've had so much fun going through your blog and looking at these tags! Excellent, all of them! I can't believe I've never heard of this challenge but I'll be all over it next year! :)
ReplyDeleteAll your tags are brilliant and well done on the holly leaves and getting out the melting pot, it looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck on finishing tag 12, just go for it, nearly there. I nearly fell by the wayside several times.
