The 12 Tags of Christmas, Day 6

People were wondering what materials Tim would use on today's tag.  Who would have guessed sparkly fluff?  I'm not sure what it is, but know I don't have any.  My fifth grade teacher made us memorize a proverb a day, so I'm thinking....necessity is the mother of invention.  Anyway........... here is Tim's wonderful, nostalgic tag (the sparkly fluff is what makes the snow on the tree):

I have the car stamp, though a smaller version of it, and I have a beautiful and similar tree stamp from Stampin' Up.  Don't have that greeting stamp, don't have any jute, and again don't have that flourish stamp Tim uses almost every day.  No problem.  Remember the proverb.   Here is my version, followed by some explanation:

Tim covered his tag with dictionary paper and showed us a cool technique for pulling off some of the text with masking tape.  I do have old dictionary sheets, but decided to go with an old music sheet instead.  And I did use the masking tape technique.

Instead of the sparkly fluff, I mixed together some white flock and glitter shards for my snow.  I doubt if the sparkle shows up in the photo, but it is very nice soft fluffy and glittery snow.

I did find an old game piece, but opted not to use it.  My car is smaller than Tim's and the piece was just out of proportion.

Instead of the jute, I used plain old string, the kind you keep around the house to tie up stacks of newspapers.  Except mine is in the studio for art projects.  Oh, I do recycle, but get my news from TV and the internet.

So, here it is, all of 8:00AM, and Tag 6 is done!  On to other projects.
