I used part of a stamp from Sugar Lump Studios, of children on a sledge in the snow, using tea-dye distress ink. I decorated the outside of the tag with different winter foliage stamps in peeled paint and shabby shutters distress ink and used a sentiment that Louise sent me a while ago. It is one of my favorite words ' JOY' - and I always interpret it as the JOY of the Lord, because that is a precious thing to have. I have e-mail contact with a friend in Holland and we have decided to send each other joy-reports - it is a great reminder of everything we can be thankful for! So much can happen in just a week!
Your tag is as always so beautiful and feminine. I like the idea of emailing joy reports. So often our emails have negative things in them. BTW, we woke up to a beautiful landscape of ice-coated trees and bushes. Very wintry indeed.
ReplyDeleteAh, yes, I am also a big fan of Joy!! And I do love your tag!

I didn´t expect a winther theme and i am so tired of snow. The last two months we have so much snow in Denmark.
ReplyDeleteLove your warm winter tag. Great use of leaf stamps.
This is gorgeous and it's wonderful to see how this turned out using distress ink for stamping. I rarely use them for inking up my stamps but looking at this I certainly will give it a try. Gorgeous tag; the sentiment speaks to my heart...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Tag!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I love your tag!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you,
Cindy
Wonderful tag no matter what the season.....I was actually GLAD to see winter as the theme as winter for me has several months to go even though the last week was unseasonably WARM for this time of year but have no fear....the abominable snowman will return before April gets here that is for sure!!
ReplyDeleteVery lovely! Beautiful Tag!
ReplyDeleteA lovely tag Jacqueline, I put all my Christmas stuff away so will have to dig some of it out again. We had frost again this morning and its freezing again tonight !
ReplyDeleteI havent been over to see the new challenge yet.

We all need a little more Joy in our lives :0)

So pretty and clever to make a second tag while your supplies were still out. Lynne M
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I love the tiny little accent with the white flower and red pearl, perfect!
ReplyDeleteThe tag is so pretty! What a great idea to share your joy report with a friend. So good to focus on something positive instead of all the negativity in this world. I might steal your idea ;)
