Tag 6 - And last but not least, here are the Texas Ornaments, stamped in black and colored with colored pencils. I added some gold Stickles to the Texas ornament and cut out the lowest hanging ball.
[please note the lack of testicular humor despite the obvious opportunity]
A 1" punch would have worked but I wanted the ornament top as well. So that gets popped up and a little bow is added. The background is Memento Rhubarb Stalk (of course) but I used a wadded up paper towel for the texture. Also the Mini Asterisk stamp fills the space.
The Merry Texmas was stamped in Adirondack Bottle Green, layered onto a dark green and some lime green Stickles around the edges. Red Stickles is all around the tag. This idea came from this card so you can see the versatility, although if it were me, I might put the Merry Texmas inside the card.
So that's it for the Texmas Tags! As you can see in the top photo, I tied them to a ribbon for a banner effect to display them - if you make enough, I guess you could decorate a whole tree. If so, I envy your free time!
Reminds me of the book "Wracked By The Bedpost" by Juan Hung Lo. See? If you don't do the testicular humor, then I have to do it. . .Great tag series this year. You are a talented guy my friend! Best, Curt
