Make My Monday Week 29

The last challenge of the year at Make My Monday is to make a seasonal tag - I've gone along with another of the techniques from Tim Holtz.  This time it is a kind of image transfer using clear packing tape,  a clear acrylic accent piece and some self adhesive foil tape.  The background was stamped with some music and little scraps of text, sponged with distress inks and overstamped using some holly stamps from Christmas Reflections by Chocolate Baroque - fairly quick to make once I'd mastered the image transfer technique.  Hopefully this really is the last seasonal thing I make for quite a while and it will be good to get back to something different.

    I love the way you've used the colours from your Santa image throughout the rest of the tag. The effect of the music is lovely just reminding one of Holly & Carols - it was the combination of music & your Holly stamping that set me off humming The Holly & The Ivy.
    Wishing You a Merry Christmas

    Crikey, I can't believe it's that long since I visited you Val. I am sorry ............ for myself 'cos i missed some beautiful creations. I'm glad the posts don't self destruct after a week, lol!

    I love your tag and always have a soft spot for music backgrounds. It has a very traditional Christmassy feel to it with the colours and the holly. The tiny Santa image is great.
