Tim Holtz 12 Days 7th Tag

My take on Tim Holtz's Twelve Days of Tags, this is my take on  the 7th Tag;

I had to improvise (as always)...as I didn't have all the right die cuts, stamps etc....I hand cut the leaves, heavily crinkled and distressed them and tucked a glittered little branch behind, I used a different stamp for the sentiment which I also heavily blended in darker colors over the kraft, made my background paper w/a music stamp, the covered with sheer gold paint, and while still wet added Tea Dye Distress ink to edges and used blending tool to blend it in and topped it with some pearls and a tear drop gemstone.  I had a lot of fun with this, even if it took me several days of working on it :)

Started first of many game nights tonight with Stan and Seth...something we do every December in front of the Christmas tree and fire.  Also, still working on my mantle, I keep adding to it (kind of experimenting what I in part with what I am going to do for the tables at Ashley's January wedding.  I'll post pics when I get it done :)
