For my project today I used one of my mixed media backgrounds I created last weekend. I pulled out the background and cut it into a tag shape.
I distressed the edges with green ink. I stamped the Cling Snow Bird and the branch twice once on the tag and another on white cardstock. I colored the bird using distress stains and a waterbrush. I used the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L foam squares to pop up my bird. I embossed the images using Stampendous embossing powder. I added Stampendous Ultra-fine red glitter to the berries and gave them a coating of crystal glitter. The background has a smattering of the Mica flakes. The Christmas Blessings stamp was stamped in brown and embossed with brown embossing powder.
Hop along for inspiration from the rest of the design team:
