I wanted to play in the IC challenge (Balsam Hill) and Lolls Twelve Tags of Christmas Challenge so of course I was going to do a Christmas Tree (no particular tree inspired me - just the concept of a tree - I want them all by the way - especially the one you hang from the ceiling).
Loll loves some stenciling so I made a stencil by cutting a tree using a TH Tree Die. I sponged a few different colors and it still needed something. I had used brown paper to cut my stencil and I am so darn lazy I decided to use that bit of brown tree too. It was so brown that I thought I would cover it with some modeling past and glitter and have a pretty snow tree. I dug around in my bag where I thought the glitter was but only found gold micro beads. Very strange looking but I like it.
Super fun making Christmas tags this morning - I feel very much in a Christmas mood! Plan to be decorating mine today!

You are the queen of texture...love your cards and this tag is sooooo pretty. I am in a Christmas mood today, too. Planning to visit a beautiful Christmas shop or two today. Think I'll decorate next weekend.

Fabulous Christmas tag Nancy! I love the use of microbeads on this fabulous Christmas tree die. Of course, my eye went right to your wonderful deer too. This is right up my alley for nature-inspired Christmas items so this is going right into my favs! ~Karen.

This is awesome, Nancy!! I LOVE your stenciled tree in the background, and then your brown tree on top. Adding the "snow" and microbeads makes it so artsy! Sweet baby reindeer too. Thanks so much for joining my tag event!! xx
