Unity Friends with Flair (25.11.2011)


Happy Friday!  I never realised that Black Friday is such a huge shopping day online (for me, anyway).  This is probably the first year I'm crazy shopping for craft supplies on bargains.  Hence, I didn't have much time to make a card, and a tag was all I managed to complete for the Unity FWF today.

The snowman on the tag is probably my favourite image in the latest Nov KOM - I wish there's snow right here so I can have a snowman just like him at my doorstep.  Wishful thinking, right?  He was coloured with Spica glitter pens (Red, Melon, Turquoise, Gold & Orange) and Copic markers (R32, R35, R81, R83, R00,YR00, Y00, BG000, G00, G02).


The tag was embossed with the Tim Holtz Woodgrain embossing folder, and sponged with Distress Inks Frayed Burlap, Evergreen Bough and Iced Spruce, and Perfect Pearls Gold for some shimmer.  The patterned paper is from Echo Park Holly Jolly Christmas and the tissue tape is from Tim Holtz.

I'm also submitting this tag for the current Unity Let It Snow challenge, found here.

Happy Shopping, everyone, and have a Great weekend!!

Hey, I'm the first commenter!!!YEA!!!! I love your little guy. Your coloring really brings out his personality. I just got that stamp but haven't used it yet. Now I really want to. I'm going to make a tag with him like you did. I love the wood grain background. I don't have an embossing machine so I can't do that part, but I just bought a woodgrain stamp from Unity......GREAT job.

The snowman is well ventilated from the cold :). This tag can also be incorporated into a card as it is an attractive tag.

Eek! This is SO cute! I'm not a KOM subscriber, but I'm lucky enough to know someone who DOESN'T LIKE the snowman, so she's going to give it to me! Can't wait till it arrives! :D
