I die cut a Tonic Studios tag from watercolour card, Creative Expressions sentiment die and John Next Door foliage from SizzixTextured card.  I put the foliage and sentiment aside.  

I stamped and heat embossed the stag from Tim Holtz Reindeer Flight stamp set using Versafine Clair Pinecone ink and Sweet Dixie clear embossing powder.   I stamped the trees using Versafine Clair Pinecone and Rain Forest inks.

I added water across the whole of the bottom half of the tag avoiding the reindeer.  Then added a lovely green watercolour paint.  I left that to dry overnight.  The next day I added water to the top half of the tag then used a rosy pink watercolour to create the start of a sunset and I added a pale yellow to the very top to represent the sun going down.  I left to dry overnight again.

I threaded ribbon through, adhered the die cuts and finished with Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops.   Back soon x
