peace on earth

Hi there! It's time for an all new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week's challenge theme is ANYTHING GOES!
I was inspired to create a holiday mixed media tag.
Tags are so versatile and during the holiday season. A tag can easily be used as an ornament, a gift tag or simply an inspirational piece to spread some cheer!
This tag features a pair of beautiful layered angel wings and a crackled Mini heart:
and a lot of texture that was created using Texture Paste along with the Latticework Stencil. Once dry, I randomly applied various colors of Winter Distress Paints which made for a fantastic painted background:
Here's a visual of a few of the products used: (all are listed below):
Thanks so much for visiting! I hope you enjoyed my project and I hope you join along with the Simon Says Stamp Monday Stamp Challenge! Please be sure to visit the Simon Says Stamp Monday Stamp Challenge blog to see all the DT's fabulous inspiration!
