Joy by Scarlett Salamone Supplies Patterned Paper: Echo Park; Mix Media Paper: Canson; Cardstock Stickers: Echo Park; Snowflake Buttons: All Dressed Up; Pearls: Recollections; Extra Heavy Gel: Golden; Matte Gel: Liquitex; White Opaque Flakes: Golden; Light Molding Paste: Golden; Glitter: Martha Stewart; Paint: Tulip; Punches: Marvy, Martha Stewart; Tool: Crop-A-Dile: We R Memory Keppers; Other: Sequins; chipboard, trim
Step 1:
Gather supplies together.
Step 2:
Cut Mixed Media paper to 6 1/4 x 3 1/8. Adhere Mix Media paper to chipboard using Matte Gel.
Step 3:
Cover paper with a coat of gesso. Set aside to dry.
Step 4:
Punch a strip of patterned paper with border punch. This strip should be about twice as long as the width of your tag base.
Step 5:
Cut punched strip in half and adhere to top and bottom of tag base with matte gel. Set aside to dry.
Step 6:
Punch 3 circles, in varying sizes, out of patterned paper.
Step 7:
Cut circles in half and trim edges to fit onto tag, creating hills. Using Extra Heavy Gel, adhere the hills to the tag. Set aside to dry.
Tip: To achieve some dimension, vary each layer of gel's thickness. The thicker the layer of gel you apply, the longer you will need to allow time to dry.
Step 8:
Cover tag with White Opaque Flakes. I used a flat brush to apply. Set aside to dry.
Step 9:
Adhere snowman and tree to tag using Matte Gel. The thicker layer of gel you use, the more dimension you will achieve. Remember a thick layer of gel will take a longer time to dry. My layer required 24 hours to dry completely.
Step 10:
Add a thick layer of Light Molding Paste to the base of the snowman, tree, and hills with a popsicle stick or your choice of tool. To apply a dusting of molding paste to your hills and tree, use your finger to dab on. While molding paste is still wet, sprinkle some glitter on to it.
Step 11:
Adhere the last of your embellishments (bird, joy sticker, and snowflakes) to the tag using Matte Gel.
Step 12:
Use your Crop-A-Dile, or other tool, to punch a hole in center of tag at the top. Add trim.
Step 13:
Enjoy your completed tag!

That tag just makes you want to touch it - there's so much texture. I love that tinsel ribbon, too. Beautiful!
