Playing catch up here for the "12 Days of Christmas Link Up Party" hosted by Unruly PaperArts and I missed day 5.
I have to admit, I have so many projects going on for other blogs that I really needed some creative mojo.... So we're going back.... waaaay back to a technique that I learned from non other than the amazing T!m Holtz. This was a technique he shared on the 12 Days of Christmas Tags 2009.... I told you we were going back
Create your plaid background by using glossy paper and alcohol inks. Distress Marker Spritzer for my black splashes .
Using my alcohol inks, I stained the clear dew drops to look like holly berries.
Fun and easy technique and now these tags are ready to attach to their presents. Be sure to join in on the fun... There is so much inspiration going on at the party so hope you decide to play along.

You have gone WAY back Toni! This was one of the first techniques I was ever taught with alcohol inks. Doesn't matter because it's super effective...terrific tag!
These tags are wonderful, love the soft plaid, have to learn that technique! The berries are so pretty. Thanks for sharing and Happy 12 Days of UPA!~kim
These are beautiful. I still love those soft colors!
Toni, these are just stunning! Wow, I love the colours and the vintage feel to them! That Santa stamp is amazing, love him! big hugs :)
I think it is always fun to revisit old techniques and I love the plaid effect achieved for these gorgeous tags Toni, and am definitely going to try the alcohol ink on the clear dew drops, they look fabulous as the berries. xx
Just so beautiful! Visiting from the Unruly Paperarts Linky party!
