Splish Splash Splosh

Hello.  Welcome.  Hope you have been having a lucky day.  I'm dancing.  And hopping.  Hops everywhere.  Hoping to be lucky, or at least inspired.  Isn't blogland great. 

The final 12 Days of Christmas challenge over at Swirlydoos was a giant tag.  OK, I can tag. 


I started by cutting my 20 x 10 tag from Basic Grey Jovial.  I bought this because it was such a lovely bright colour and I thought it would make great summer projects, until I noticed it had 'I saw three ships come sailing....' printed all over!  Ah well, maybe no one will notice.  Or I can just use it for a Christmas project.  My second layer is Do-crafts Chronology paper.  I inked round both layers with chalk ink.


I've used a Basic Grey chipboard bauble.  I covered it in crinkled tissue paper and painted it with gesso.  I added the gesso quite thick at the top to give it a snowy texture.  Then I sprayed it with Smooch Spritz Log Cabin.  Oops, that's a bit darker than I was expecting.  Lighten up, lighten up, lighten up.  Well, maybe a little bit and ooh sparkly bits.  I added some stickers for a bit of bling.  You all know by now that's Merry Christmas in Norwegian don't you..........



I added some lace behind the bauble and some fancy fibers from the bauble to the top and then added some more for the tie.  There's a lovely little star from Storyteller there as well, peeking out of the fluff.
