12 days of christmas
i really struggled with how to convey this very favorite christmas carol on a single tag! but i remembered a stamp i have with dancing ladies so i decided to focus on "9 ladies dancing." i thought the stamp had 3 dancing ladies so i planned to stamp it three times but things got complicated -- the 100proofpress stamp actually had 5 ladies dancing on it. so first i inked and stamped 4 of the ladies and then re-inked the whole stamp and by a miracle of christmas succeeded in getting a decent image. the rest is just happy paper layering and embellishment.

ReplyDeleteTerrific tag and a wonderful idea to use the stamp a few times to get a group of ladies dancing.

You manipulated the stamp beautifully, a great tag! X
ReplyDeleteAwesome stamping Michele. It is a lovely stamp and I really like how you distressed the edges. I also really like the red ribbon, the roses strip & the backgrond is a great contrast. Love it all really :o))

ReplyDeleteNow that is really clever stamping - the image is fantastic . Lovely tag
ReplyDeleteCool! Your double stamping blend is flawless, and the the embellishments truly enhance the theme of the verse. Blessings!

ReplyDeleteGreat stamping with a tricky technique. I wanted to do the ladies dancing, too, but couldn't come up with anything, good for you!
