I made a snowman tag with the great Tim Holtz STAMPtember® 2023 Exclusive set. You will get a rubber stamp set, two stencils, Sparkle Texture Paste and Glow Grit Paste. The stars in the background glow in the dark.

The stamp set has fun images perfect for Christmas crafting and lots of sentiments. Stamp the snowman three times on watercolor paper.

I colored the snowmen with Distress Watercolor Pencils. Pick the paint up from the tip with a paint brush.

Cut them out. I cut off the broom from one of the snowmen.

Apply Distress Micro Glaze to the snowmen, to prevent the color from bleeding out into the paste later.

Cover a tag with gesso using a palette knife and let dry. Paint the top with Distress Paint.

When dry, white emboss the stars and snowflake to the sky.

Add a second application of Glow Grit Paste to cover the sky.

I mixed a tiny bit of white paint into the Sparkle Texture Paste to make the paste more opaque. Add a thick layer as snow.

Place the snowmen into the paste. The one to the right was adhered with Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Perfect Foam Tape. Add a little Sparkle paste on top and also to their hats and arms.

The ribbon was dyed to coordinate with the colors of the snowmen.

Tie the ribbons to the tag.

Sentiments were stamped and cut into strips. I like the full stop at the end of each of these three.

The glow in the dark stars have a yellow tint to them.

I added Glossy Accents to the eyes and buttons.

There is a bit of Sparkle paste on the hats of the snowman too.

The Sparkle Texture Paste has a shiny texture.

The glitter effect is a little hard to capture.

Here you can see the glow in the dark effect of the stars/snowflakes. Very cool to walk past when it is dark.
