A Cottage Christmas Wine Tag-CFC#28



CFC#28



I have had the best time...and the worst time making this winetag for CAS-ual Fridays CFC#28 Tag, You're It Challenge.   First, an explanation of the worst.  I had such a hard time coloring this image how I envisioned it in my mind.  It is so detailed and I had a terrible time shading it so it didn't look blotchy.  I need a lot more practice for this one.  I didn't give up because I thought this image is so gorgeous and just the perfect size to use on a winetag for a Christmas gift.  The second time I just stamped it twice on blue cardstock and embossed it with white.  I added just a little bit of shading with some blue copics and them added lots of prisma glitter.  Everything is better with glitter, don't you think?

 I cut a white doily and embossed the sentiment from Waltzingmouse Stamps  A Cottage Christmas in white.  I added a bow and a snowflake button and it was done.  Then I started up our fireplace for the first time this year and suddenly, our house felt like Christmas!  I am going to make a lot of these tags to have on hand when I need just a little something to make a bottle of wine, champagne or even sparkling cider look like a special gift.

What a great tag. I love how that cottage looks embossed and covered with glitter. The white embossing on enchanted evening is so very striking. And, your setting for your photo is so cozy.
