12 Tags of Christmas : Day 8

This is so NOT me - but I love it and really enjoyed the challenge.  This is what taking part in the 12 Tags is all about - stretching yourself inventively and trying different styles.  I was amazed that I did have quite a few of the right things as well.  It is a very dark day here today, gale force winds and driving rain/sleet/snow.  Pretty horrible!  so the photographs are not as great as they might be.  (I have to get finished before midday, or I can't get a good photo being so far north!).

For my background I used Distress Inks:  Fired Brick, Peeled Paint, Bundled Sage and Forest Moss with a little bit of Broken China.  I also did a white emboss resist as I had no White Paint Dabber.  I also only had Copper Paint Dabber for the cogs and clock and it is a bit bright, the gold looks good, so that is now on my list of "must haves".  I did position things a little differently as I felt you couldn't really see everything.  I was also very pleased to give this chap an airing - one of my favourite Crafty Individual stamps, but I often can't think of a way of using him.


I hope you have as much fun today as I have!  To see Tim's actual tag, click HERE.  And click HERE for the Inspiration Emporium blog where there are some great entries each day.
