BABY ITS COLD OUTSIDE-LET IT SNOW

I MADE TOP THREE AT CRAFTS 4 ETERNITY

Good morning, I am here with a quick post and I am running a little late. First of all it really feels like winter here in the south. And boy am I cold. It is hard to tell the difference between the cold in Chicago (where I am originally from) and the cold we are experiencing here in the south, it really  reminds me so much of home). So I thought that I would post my winter charms, that were made for the charm swap that I participate in each month. The theme is blue, silver, white and snowflakes.

The technique for the tag is one used by Tim Holtz in the 12 tags of Christmas. I made these smaller that the one I did for his challenge. The snowman is cut from the Joys of the Season cricut cartridge. I used crackle accents on the snowmen and then blue alcohol ink mixed with fixative and rubbed it on the snowmen. For the tag I stamped a snowflake on it several times and then used clear embossing powder and my trusty little heat gun and then went over it with the same mixture as the snowmen. I used blue stickles on the scarf and the beads are a mixture from Michaels and Walmart. The snowflake attached to the charm is actually a christmas tree ornament that I painted with gesso then after it was dry I painted on some modge podge and dipped it in some fine glitter. Once that dried I put on more modge podge and let dry. accented it with a little blue stickles. Well, that is  it for this project. Now, on to the challenges.
