A Holly Angel for WMS Tag Challenge

Evening all! I'm a tad late with this entry for the Waltzingmouse Stamps Tag Competition, see HERE for details, it ends tonight, and I have spent days and days thinking what to make for this.

Tags generally stump me, and my mojo was not playing ball this week!

So, I thought I would pull out my very first stamp set from WMS, Earthangel. If you can't use an Angel at Christmas, when can you?!

Here is my creation:



I decided on going for a rustic feel with this little sweetie.


I have used Bazzill kraft stock as the base, and for the angel. I stamped her in Memento Rich Cocoa, and coloured her in with Staedtler Ergo Soft Colour Pencils, my first time colouring on kraft, and I love the effect it gives.


The background is stamped using WMS Musical Backgrounds, in Rich Cocoa, and cut using Nestabilities Labels 14, and edged with gold glamour dust. Wrapped around the centre of the tag is some Red Baker's twine - this and the little Christmas Rose at the top are both from The Ribbon Reel.




The little tag is Papertrey Ink's Tiny Tags, stamped in Brilliance Pearlescent Poppy and Rich Cocoa.

The little holly and berry leaves were stampe using elements from Oven Fresh Gingerbread Joy and Earthangel. Stamped, coloured and cut separately from the base 'rope', as the base has a floral design, and I wanted to try to give a holly effect.


On the back I have used elements from Compliments of The Season and Rescue Remedies, both from Waltzingmouse Stamps.

Off to post this now, as the deadline is getting nearer!
