2019 Christmas Tag #4 & A Giveaway

-
Welcome to the 4th week of Christmas tags for 2019.  My goal for this series is 2-fold:

1. Create gorgeous tags for my loved ones
2. Use different techniques and supplies


 Today, I am highlighting one of my favorite mediums - watercolors!  I love using watercolors to enhance my cards and journals.  Now I'm pulling them out for the tags.  Don't let this item used by artists intimidate you.  I'm not an artist but I love the effect that I can achieve with them.  Watercolors are a great way to express your creativity no matter how much experience you have.  You don't have to buy expensive ones.  Just grab a set and start experimenting.

 Be sure to check out the video below for how these tags were made.  Don't forget the giveaway for your chance to win a set of of the tags from this series.

Supplies:
Koi Watercolors
Poinsettia stamp from Blue Knight Rubber Stamps
Red ribbon
Strathmore watercolor paper
Archival Distress Black Soot ink


What about that Giveaway?
Enter a comment on this post.  I will be choosing a random winner from all of the comments made here and on YouTube to receive a set of all of the tags from this year's posts.  The more places you comment, the more chances you have to win.  Winner announced 12/15/19.


Thanks for stopping by today.  Remember to take some time to enjoy the little things.

Welcome to my little contribution to the Operation Write Home Blog Hop.  I am so happy that you stopped by today.  This is the first time that I've participated in an OWH Blog Hop, but I have hopped to other blogs during these hops before.  I can't wait to see all the inspiration out there. Today, I have chosen the Bonus Sketch #12 to use with this hop.  It is a sketch that my daughter chose to have me make her thank you notes for graduation before I even knew the hop details.  What perfect timing!  Be sure to scroll down to the previous post for a full tutorial and to see my daughter's thank you note.  Same technique and sketch, but a totally different card. I used the following supplies: Operation Write Home Bonus Sketch #12 K and Company - Ancestry.com paper Memento Tuxedo Black ink OWH / Hero Art stamp Stampendous - Happy Messages stamp set Thanks so much for stopping by today.
