Another Wednesday, another Mo Manning day. This time I’ve got a Christmas tag to share, seeing as Christmas is now less than five months away. Time really does fly. Maybe Ragged Angel will, too – she’s got wings.
I colored her up in reds with a really dark night sky background and lots of snow flurrying through the air. I diecut her and put her on a scalloped circle. Added a few diecut snowflakes and a charm shaped like mittens for a little bit of embellishment.
I stamped a sentiment (No peeking! – not to be opened until Christmas Eve!) on a 1″ circle and glued a pebble on top, just for that tiny bit of dimension.
The back of the tag is very simple. More diecut snowflakes, a stitched snowflake circle and a To/From stamp from Norsk Stempelblad AS, stamped using Papertrey Ink Scarlet Jewel ink. I added tiny Kort & Godt pearls to the center of each of the snowflakes.
I like how you used rich colors! What color did you use for the sky? It’s a nice color 🙂
Thank you, I find that this particular image pops more with a dark sky. I used BV29, 25, 23, and 20 for the sky. Started with my darkest marker closest to the image and used the lighter ones further out. I went over it a couple of times to get a smooth blend, so in the end, you don’t really see the lighter ones. I don’t think I even used BV20 for my final layer.
No wonder the color is so rich! I realize you put quite a bit of effort into making it that way 🙂 I got BV20 recently, and it’s quite a pretty color!
