I used the holiday, snowflakes and sheet music folders. This tag was not difficult to do, but it does
involve some drying time. Also, as Tim states clearly, after painting the metal you will most likely think that your tag is a hot mess. Don't be alarmed. The following steps really do make it all work. I think it's a wonderful look.
The embellishment (I don't have any of the Christmas charms) started life as a truly ugly overly bright piece of thin cheap metal. Applying the paint and embossing it really transformed it.
By the way, Tim used Ranger's self adhesive foil. I used metal from Ten Seconds Studio. But......if you have neither, this is what I used to do before I had any metal sheets. Adhere some heavy duty aluminum foil to your cardstock and then proceed as directed. As long as you are a bit gentle with your sanding you won't tear the foil and it is a good substitute for the real thing.

I like that you used several embossing folders to create your tag Eileen! It looks great. xo

I love the richness of this tag and how you used several different embossing folders to achieve this great look. Thanks for the tip about subbing aluminum foil.
I love how you worked around not having the items Tim used. Love your tag.
Love that you combined your embossing folders to create the tag!
Здорово! Великолепный тег!!!
This tag is fabulous! I love the look of yours with the 3 fades rather than the one.
Well, I have to say, I like your tag better than Tim's. Gasp. I'm trying to catch up on some blogs, as I'm horribly behind. I will tell you that, I have looked at all of your tags, and I just love how you improvise. Very creative and yet, practical. And they turn out fabulous. I'm still working on day 1, so by Christmas, I should have at least two done. lol.
Looks great... Wanna make mine? LOL
After yesterday Im ready for anything....Charge!
I think this turned out great, it inspires me to try to do this tag.
Coped with the task-EXCELLENT!

Once again you have challenged the model and done one better. Kudos to you for taking the plunge.
Love your tag Eileen! Love how creative you are with substituting items. Great job.

Great TH tag! I like it more than the original.
Weren't you clever (and brave?) to cut things apart and reassemble to make something completely unique. I have to say that this tags really resonates with me - I like the classic lines and rich jewel tones.
FAbulous colours on this! great tat Eileen.
I think I actually like your tag more then Tim's......don't tell!!! :) Thanks for the tip of using the heavy duty foil, I was wondering if that would work!!! Beautiful job!!!
