Day 6 and I wasn't sure what do when I first saw the image. But after reading Tim's blog (Oh I enjoy reading it as much as being inspired by the pictures) I thought of the embossed tins of biscuits we used to get at Christmas when I was little - such a treat! So, I decided to try and create a richly textured metallic effect.
Yet again, I had none of the right supplies but found some lovely heavy quality Mirri card in a really unusual shade and a free embossing folder from a Docrafts magazine. I debossed some card and then embossed another piece. My daughter and I coloured in with Sakura pens trying to use similar colours to Tims design. I cut one out and stuck it onto the tag and then added a glittery trim and a snowflake - Ta Dah!

Hi Anna,
so awesome. I adore all the things you do, thanks a lot for your comment in my blog.
What a beautiful tag...it reminds me of the great tree in NYC! The colors are fabulous and I like that you took it slightly off the page. Kudos!
Anita, thank you for your wonderful comment - I am honoured by the comparison - I have just seen your blog and can't wait to return after work. Anna x
Lila - thank you so much for your lovely comment - I have seen your blogs - returning later - can't wait (I need to try the 'crackle nail polish - I have some!)
Wow, that's a wonderful tag, looks really fabulous.
Hi Anna! Thank you for the sweet comment on my blog! You are doing a fabulous job with the tags!! I love the dark metallic on this one in particular -- this is just gorgeous!! :)
very very impressive
Exquisite effect! I love the resourcefulness you employed here too. It has such an elegant simplicity to the design that using many of the texture fade folders can't achieve. Brava!!!
Оо, как красиво!!!
This is fabulous! Looks like stained glass.
