More Tags

I'm still having fun making tags for Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags.  On Day 15 Tracey's adorable angel caught my eye & reminded me about the DeNami stamp I've had for 20 years. 
I tried gold embossing the angel, but it didn't show up enough.  My final version ended up with white embossing (Tracey had the right idea--haha) & Distress Oxides fossilized amber, wilted violet & picked raspberry.  The sentiment from 2005 is by Stampendous.
  
My other tag was inspired by Carol's fun ombre trees on Day 17.  I fell in love with the tree in an Ellen Hutson stamp set, but didn't let myself buy it as I have so many Christmas sets. 
Last year I decided to get it anyway, only to discover it was discontinued.  However, a stamper with the set offered to stamp off a few for me.  She stamped & die cut a total of 9 trees on 3 different papers--what a sweetie!  I love my Zigs & it's a great way to do ombre.  The star was colored with a gold gel pen, but decided it needed some sparkle.  That was easily accomplished with a bit of Stickles. 
The tiny snowflakes are from W&W In Bloom: Frenchy's Festive Florals & the sentiment is from PTI Take Three: Winter.

    Lovely tags today Greta! I think my late SIL had that DeNami angel stamp too. Your bold inking behind her looks wonderful with the white embossing!

    Your angel, Greta, is celestial sensational embossed in white and set against the lovely background! I can see why this particular tree image caught your eye; it's sooo pretty with the feathery branches and in ombre green...oh my! Love it! Honoured that my whimsical trees were a spark of inspiration! Thrilled that you're playing tag with us at the 25 Days of Christmas Tags event!

    The floaty angel looks right at home on the vibrant Oxide inks and that tree is fabulous. The free form look is gorgeous and how lovely that someone stamped some off for you. Beautiful work.
