Over the River Sparkling Holiday Tags

Holiday seasons are in the air over at Ellen Hutson LLC! The September release is new in the shop, and full of Julie Ebersole's delightful humor and whimsical illustrations!

Today I'm using the adorable Over the River stamp set and coordinting Over the River dies to create a set of holiday tags:

I also used Julie's awesome Concertina Tag die set -- this die cuts three tags at once for you! For the tags below, I stamped the deer with Brushed Corduroy and polar bear with Hickory Smoke Distress inks so the ink would bleed a little whenever I applied the Nuvo Aqua Shimmer clear glitter gloss pen over it, creating a bit of shading. On the deer tag I stamped the trees in Evergreen Bough, Cracked Pistachio, and Twisted Citron, and the sentiment in Barn Door, all on Ellen's awesome Oyster Gray cardstock. The pine twig at the top was also shimmered and popped up on foam tape (as was the deer).

The polar bear tag background was stencil brushed with Tumbled Glass Distress ink and a cloud stencil. The icy water was created by stamping the oval from Julie's new Winterscapes stamp set with Tumbled Glass Distress ink and glittered with the shimmer pen. Polar bear is also shimmered and popped up on foam tape.

Next, the snowman tag was created with the snowfall stamp from the Winterscapes stamp set, stamped in Tumbled Glass Distress ink and the snowflakes glittered with the shimmer pen. Red accents were added to the snowman's scarf using R24 Copic marker. Snowman is also shimmered and popped up on foam tape.

Finally, the truck tag was stamped in the same colors of Distress ink as above (Barn Door, Evergreen Bough, Hickory Smoke), the window on the truck shimmered, as well as the Christmas tree and road. P.S. I love that it can either be a road or stream! To finish all the tags, they were tied with red baker's twine.

You can find more inspiration with this new release over on Ellen's CLASSroom blog today and all week. Thanks so much for joining me today!
