Winter Plants Tag

Hi friends! It is the last day of January. Normally, I think that the months fly past, but so many things happened this month, that it feels like it has been an unusually long month. 

I have a winter plant tag to share today.

Plants can be very beautiful in winter too, stark and textured, with or without frost. I wanted a tag that captured that feeling. Most of the stamps come from Paper Artsy Winter Grasses Edition and Winter Umbels Edition by Alison Bomber. 

Start by white embossing three of the flowers on a heavystock tag.

Ink the tag with Distress Ink, using an ink-blending tool. 

Mist with water droplets.

Stamp the tag here and there with Simon Says Stamp Crackle Background.

Stamp again with the same flower stamps, but using Uncharted Mariner ink.

I stamped this sentiment from the Winter Umbels Edition with blue ink on the background first, but decided to stamp it on left over inky paper instead and glue to the background.

Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Dazzling Opal Gems were glued to the background.

You can also stamp the darker impression close to the white-embossed on, to create a shadow, but that is not what I was aiming for here.

Beautiful sentiments from the Winter Grasses and the Winter Umbels Edition sets.

I made a border from cheese cloth, lace trim and twine and also added some gems.

I hope this tag inspired you to go out and look at some plants, even though it may be winter.

Thank you for visiting!

Happy Christmas crafting!
