Tuesday with Tara {take 109}
Happy Tuesday!
Guess what arrived after last week’s blog hop post went live? My package that included the freebie stocking die, which I hope many of you will have arriving soon at your homes after you did some retail therapy in the online store 🙂 So, as promised, I’m sharing one final “Christmas in July” creation… on the first of August 🙂
I decided to go with a tag… which would be fabulous hanging on a gift bag or bottle of wine as a gift, or it may end up the focal point of a card later on! I die cut the gorgeous stocking die twice, once out of kraft and once out of the silver glitter cardstock. I taped up the back of the glitter die cut to keep all those detailed pieces from going anywhere, then layered the kraft die cut over it. I love the contrast of the neutral kraft over that glittery base!
I inked up a manila tag with a variety of green & blue Distress Oxide Inks, then added a bit more shading a stamped sentiment in Vintage Photo Distress Oxide. A few brown toned sequins worked well to mix with both the kraft & the glitter elements.
I pulled some pre-inked pieces of crinkle ribbon from my stash that coordinated nicely with my tag and added a little piece of Christmas idea-ology by Tim Holtz to finish it off! All in all, it’s a pretty simple project, but something as detailed as this stocking die doesn’t need much to look complete! Plus, I think I managed to make something completely different than everyone else who did the hop, which can sometimes be a challenge after you’ve seen their amazing inspiration pieces! If you missed the hop, check it out HERE.
Thanks for stopping by!
Inky hugs,
Tara
