Is the 12 Tags of Christmas a blast, or what?? I'm have such a great time playing along with Tim Holtz and the huge, international (interplanetary?) group of artists creating these cool seasonal tags every day. I hope you're playing along, too!
Today's tag, which you can see on Tim's blog, uses his very cleverly designed stamp/embossing folder combo to mimic the look of a letterpress. The stamped image aligns perfectly with the embossing, creating a fabulous raised letter effect. SO stinking smart! Love, love, LOVE this idea!
As with the first two tags, my own version is a complete ripoff of Tim's original, with the tiniest little tweak. Instead of the Alcohol Inked bling, I colored a strip of white satin ribbon with Fired Brick Distress Stain and folded a little Christmas rose. I also tossed in a few sparkly snowflakes.
Wow-- it's nearly tomorrow, and almost time for Tag 4! I'd better hit the "Publish" button! Have a wonderful evening/morning/afternoon... wherever you may be!
Hugs,
Linda

I love your take on the foliage and the stamp and folder are just the cleverest inventions ever! He is a genius!
Great tag, like your tweeks. :)
The more I look at other entries the more I hate my version - which is dreadful! (don't have most of what Tim used, so it was hard.... lol!) Today's should be a little easier... am so enjoying it again though.
Gorgeous tag Linda liking your additions too. My tag 3 will have to be improvised a lot!
I'm well behind with my tags but just linked Tag 1 at GM
Best wishes Maggie
Love your tag and the twist on the foilage. I have never seen the twisted ribbon rose before. It is beautiful and I love the little snowflakes too. Wonderful touch.
its gorjuss xx
Linda.... All your tags are wonderful... I love the personal touches you have added on each and every one of them... LOVE IT...
Thanks for all you do...
Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
A wonderful tag, love the white snowflakes, great eye catchers.
Lovely tag Linda. Well done and tweek away or as Tim himself says "improvise". Therefore, Tweek = improvise!!
Great tag again Linda! I haven't started day 3 or 4 yet. Shopped all day today with my daughter and then watched the rest of the Packer game.
My favorite so far! I love the florals on the edge of the tag.
Sweet! Love that little rose.
