Here is a close up of the beautiful deer with just a hint of a sparkly coat. I used a jingle bell instead of a silver bell, a different background stamp and embossing folder but everything else is pretty much the same as Tim used.
And of course, I did a second tag for my lovely friend Ali of Ali-Craft.

May you and yours have a Wonderful Christmas (and please pass my best wishes to Mo too) and a Really Good New Year.

Of course I love it, as always. Your improvisation always turns out splendidly, but I can imagine it's much easier (and no doubt faster) when you have the same supplies and don't have to hunt for 'something that works'. turned out gorgeous, & I love the coating on the deer, and his little red jingle. Great background too. Merry Christmas and thanks for all your visits & sweet comments over the year. Hope 2015 will be all that you wish it to be for you & your family. TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas! Have an awesome day! Thank you so much for all your support! Huge Christmas hugs - Christine xxxxxxx. Stunning tag too! xxx

ReplyDeleteLove your tag Anne! Hope you had a lovely Christmas day! I am enjoying a crafty blog catch up before our family party tomorrow - number 3 son's house this year! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and all the very best for 2015, dear Anne! I hope you're enjoying your festive time! Your tag is wonderful! Thanks you for all the inspiration in 2014 and I look forward to seeing your crafty makes in 2015! Hugs,
ReplyDeleteIngrid xx
Beautiful! Love that icy look in the background.
ReplyDeleteLovely take on the December tag - that red bell really pops! Love that you incorporated your favourite colour!! Great choice of embossing folder on the frosted layer too. Hope you're enjoying a lovely Christmas time, and looking forward to following many more crafting adventures in 2015!

This is a delight. The details of the tinsel around the deer's neck and also that gorgeous red bell, make this extra, extra special.

ReplyDeleteHi there
ReplyDeleteJust dropping back by to say thank you for the sweet comments on my String Cast Lamp. I was so nervous that no one would like it. Your comment brought such a huge relief to my nervous heart. Did I say that I loved your December Tim Tag yet? I think I might have on FB - but going to say it here again. Love it!
Hi Anne. Happy New Year to you! Sorry I didn't see this before. The tag is gorgeous and that little bell is such a sweet touch. I might have a go at the Tim tags this year it always seems such fun and I suppose I could do them in my style - we'll see! Enjoy the weekend. Julia xx
ReplyDeleteHi Anne! It was so good to hear from you! Thank you so much for your very kind comment. Your Dec. Tim tag is beautiful! Love the frosty background and that sweet little deer with the festive wreath he is wearing. I hope you have a fabulous new year, Anne.
ReplyDeleteWonderful take on the tag....enjoyed my catch up so much. Thanks for all your inspiration this year Anne and the encouraging comments on my blog, it makes a real difference to a relatively new blogger. A belated Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year!! Ruth x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tag!
ReplyDeleteAnd Happy New Year!! :)
Lovely tag Anne and I adore the shade of blue you have used. Will try to remember to visit the Sizzix booth but don't be cross if I forget - I seem to have a different head that goes AWOL when I get to CHA.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year - sorry I am being brief and not visiting much but internet slow here and I am so busy.
Happy New Year to you and yours
Hugs, Neet xx
