Christmas Tags for Tracey and Loll and Muse CV #71

I was really hoping to get more tags made for the wonderful challenges that Tracey (25 Days of Christmas Tags) and Loll ( 12 Tags of Christmas) have but I've had difficulty keeping up.  I do have two tags today however.
Tracey's tags on Day 16 featured the designers from Muse Christmas Visions and the theme was to use vellum.
I cut one tag from vellum and backed it with a plain white one.  The mistletoe was stamped in dark green and clear heat embossed before coloring on the back with Zigs.  A little sentiment tag from MCS and some green ribbon finish it off.

Loll's challenge is mixed media and I was inspired by so many of her and her friends wonderful creations.
I smooshed Distress Ink on the front of my tag and when it was dry I stenciled the holly by masking off certain areas.  I used my Inktense Pencils to add some shading and details.  So that's stamping, watercoloring, stenciling and coloring, all on one little tag.

If I get my Thanksgiving cards ready to mail I may get time to make a couple more tags that I have ideas for.  That and watching more Hallmark movies.

Thanks for dropping by.

Two beautiful tags Bobby. LOVE the heat embossed and coloured mistletoe on vellum. The colours are so intense against the all white background --- very pretty! And love your watercoloured tag with stenciled holly. Sweet design. Thanks for sharing at my tag event. xx
