Heart Pendant Christmas Tag, CAS/Grunge, Varnished

I was initially a little stumped about what to do for Day 12 of Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags...

but that block didn't last for long.

Here's what I made...

The 'block' was because I don't often work with gold...  but there's nothing like a good challenge to get you thinking.  I just had to figure out how to work with it 'me' style  :)

My tag was based on this rather opulent looking creation...

...  And as you can see, I've striped it right back to basics and just taken the gold colouring and the fact that it's a Christmas ornament die as my starting points.

Supplies Used:

Dies:

Sizzix/Holtz Framelits 'Tag Collection'

Memory Box 'Snowflake Love Pendant'

Ink:

Holtz/Disress 'Black Soot"

Other:

Crafter's Companion 'Spray And Shine' Varnish

Tonic/Holtz Distressing Tool

3D Holographic Heart Embellishment

Black Raffia

I have to say I'm quite taken by the look of this simple creation. 

I think I may have an inner 'grunge' side to me!

Thanks for stopping by today...
