Here's my 12 tags of Christmas number 11. I love shrink plastic and it is always a bit of magic to see the pieces shrink. See how small and cute the die cut tree, bird, snowflakes and car became. I don't have the heating pot, instead I usually heat layers of UTEE with my heat gun, but I didn’t feel like handling these small pieces with all the detail like that. So instead, I shrunk the pieces, coloured them with alcohol ink, and then coated them on top with Glossy Accents, which gives a similar look as UTEE. The tag was inked with Iced Spruce, and then Evergreen Bough and Pine Needles were sponged on the edges. I flicked quite a bit of water on the tag to create the bleached effect and then stamped it with a snowflake stamp. The sentiment and circle were stamped with Jet Black on glossy and then inked. The sentiment reads 'Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year' and the circle contains the recipe for the most well-known Swedish Christmas toffee. Baker's twine was added as a little road. TFL!!
