Time for another tag today inspired by Linda's Twelve Tags -
Week #8. Her challenge is sponsored by her store
The Funkie Junkie Boutique.
I loved the soft background she created on her tag and the Santa image and pops of red. The images I had for Christmas wouldn't have worked from a size or following her design. So I dug through my seasonal images drawer and found this Thanksgiving turkey image which worked well with the design.
I distressed my background using all the different Metallic stains with a touch of dark brown dye ink sponged around the edges.
I stamped the Inkadinkado image using black ink on the tag. I then stamped it again on a separate piece of white cardstock and colored it with the distress inks and a waterbrush. I cut them out and layered them onto the tag.
I distressed burlap using the metallic inks and cut for trim.
I added in the background the Thanks Definition from Hero Arts along with Memory Box leaves floating in the background. The sentiment is from Hero Arts. I cut the clear sentiment so I could align it along the side.
Thanks for stopping by!

This is really sensational, Suzz! I really love the image and you have colored it beautifully. I really like that you used a Thanksgiving theme. The tiny leaves falling are so cute and the burlap is a perfect embellishment! Super take on Tag #8! Thanks for sharing with us at the 12 Tags challenge!
