Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Holy Night Tag using Simon Says Stamp's Label Tags Dies and Clean Line Christmas Stamps

Welcome to another Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!  Our theme this week is to use dies, which is fitting since this is Simon's DieCember celebration.

I started my tag using Kraft Heavystock and Simon's Label Tags dies.  I painted my tag white, then blue.  While that dried, I stamped and cut out a Christmas tree (Simon's Clean Line Christmas stamp set), which I also painted.  I used Simon's Circle Loops to cut out a ring, which I painted yellow, and then Simon's Mini Stars wafer dies to cut and paint a star.  All my components were in place!

I wanted the star at the top of the tree to cast a yellow glow, so I glued my yellow ring onto my tag, then filled it in with white paint, then yellow paint.  If I want the colors to stay bright, I always paint white on a dark background first, then paint my bright color over the white paint.

I used Simon's Falling Snow stencil and white paint to add some snow to the background.  Next I glued on my tree and the star on top of the tree.  I stamped the "Holy Night" sentiment using that same Clean Line Christmas stamp set and finished off the tag with some outlining around its edges in black.
