Made this tag following Mr. Holtz' techniques for one of the 12 tags of Christmas. For dcorder's Grunge Tag Swap.
Direct to paper techique with the green, embossed lightly entire tag. Smooshed Vintage Photo into the unembossed part and it turned out lovely! Like really 3-d!
Stamped the Christmas Cardinal using my SU! H20 markers, then using versamark, embossed this entire tag leaving lots of unembossed parts and cut out. Scruffed up edges with CTMH scruffer upper.
Attached festive X-mas plaid ribbon to the top and a big gold brad to the bottom.
THE absolute sweetest part is the mat for my cardinal--from a really old book (100 years) Student's Handy Shakespeare. The pages I tinted with walnut ink, tore & cut to fit around my cardinal. The book is falling apart and what a great way to let it live on. Bought it at a yard sale for a buck!
Love the cardinal, love the technique, love the grunge look!
