Just popping in today to share a Christmas gift tag. The deer was die cut (Sizzix) from cardboard and then white crackle (Ranger) was applied. The edge was distressed using Distress ink in Gathred Twig and Vintage Photo. (I lightened the photos below so that you can see better details of the crackle.)
How are your Christmas projects going? Are you ahead of schedule, right on track or do you work better under pressure? :)
Thanks for stopping by! Have a good day!
Big Hugs,
Kathy Jo

This tag is fabulous! It has such wonderful traditional elements, yet it is so modern, too. I love the crackle finish and distressing you did on the deer and it pops so beautifully against that rich red background. And I can't believe you found those metal letters at the dollar store! That has to be the find of the century and they are perfect for the bottom of your tag. Thanks so much for inspiring me to start thinking about Christmas and for sharing your talents with us here at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog!
