12 Days of Christmas ~ Tags 11 & 12

And so we come to the final 2 "Tim tags." I have thoroughly enjoyed doing all these inspired tags but I can truly say, these last two were my favorites. That rose technique alone was worth the whole thing. I also enjoyed making my own "faux brads." I don't have the tool Tim used to create them so I showed you how I did them with buttons below.

Here is a close up of the flowers. My flowers are covered in Candy Apple Red Glimmer Mist. I added some Gold Perfect Pearls to a Mini Mister and poured in the Glimmer Mist. Before spraying the flowers that beautiful shimmery red color, I used a make up sponge and sponged on darker highlight along the flower ridges. I then sprayed the flowers and dried.

Below are the steps I used to make my "faux brads." First I chose my vintage photo and printed it off on the canvas paper. You can find free Vintage clip art here.

Place the smooth side of your button on the sticky part of the canvas. Make sure you have cut out your picture and button in a circle and leave a litle over 1/4" all the way around. Proceed to make small cuts all the way around the circle.

Take one strip at a time and fold it over the back of the button.

Here is the finished result.

Next up we have tag #12 and probably my favorite. Those roses are divine. They're not too incredibly difficult to make and with practice could become a lot easier.
