Happy, happy December to you and welcome to another Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! How is it that time flies so fast from mid-November through December and then stretches out for-e-ver in January and February? Despite the warp speed at which time moves this time of year, we'll enjoy it for all it's worth! One fun thing that comes along every December is Simon's Diecember die celebration. In fact, this week's theme is to use dies in honor of that event. I made a tag using dies from Simon and Seth Apter.
I started by cutting a tag using Simon's Luggage Tags die set. I smeared acrylic paint on it, along with watercolors. I added some Infusions and spritzed it with water.
As that dried, I cut out a panel from Seth Apter's Cutz 1 die set, ripped it into thirds, and painted the pieces. I also stamped a grid image from Tim's Glitch 1 stamp set onto a piece of kraft cardstock
Next I painted some paper and stamped some Tim Holtz stars onto it (Seasonal Scribbles) for the bottom of the tag.
I glued the star piece to the bottom and decided to add some rings that I cut with Simon's Thin Frames die set and painted. I finished off my tag by stamping a sentiment from Tim's Just Thoughts stamp set. I cut the words of this quote apart and arranged them in a different order than how they appear in the set, but the sentiment is fantastic!
