O Christmas Tree! Mixed-Media Tags Directions:
Cut a tall triangle out of watercolor paper or cardstock. Paint with Fresh Lime Dylusions paint, and while paint is still wet, stipple Cut Grass Dylusions paint on. Leave the surface of the paint uneven and messy. Set aside to dry.
Add strips of punchinella ribbon to tag and adhere with a thick layer of gel medium.
Paint entire tag with a generous layer of Vibrant Turquoise Dylusions paint and add smudges of Cut Grass, Fresh Lime, and Lemon Zest. Blend the smudges thoroughly into the bottom layer of paint. Sponge off some of the paint from the strips of punchinella ribbon so that the holes are still visible and raised from the design. Add a few dots with Fresh Lime paint. Leave the paint uneven and messy for a later step.
Paint an tree stump onto the tag with Dina Wakley’s Umber paint. Attach the tree shape with a thick layer of gel medium.
Add white texture paste to the edges of the tag, creating the appearance of snow. Apply with a palette knife, then smudge some of the clumps of texture paste toward the center of the tag with your finger. Let dry completely. Add a thin layer of black watercolor over the entire tag. Allow the watercolor to pool in the punchinella ribbon and the cracks and crevices of paint. This will add a nice distressing effect and also highlight the texture of the tag. Dab away any excess watercolor with a paper towel.
Outline tree with a Ranger Ink Fude Ball Pen.
Water down some of Dina Wakley’s Ruby paint and splatter across the tag.
Add a Tim Holtz Seasonal ChitChat Sticker to complete the tag.

Mail Forwarded by the Post Office
If you forward mail to your new address through the Post Office, it won't apply to periodicals/your magazine subscription unfortunately. Also, since mail forwarding only lasts for a short time-frame, we request that you still notify us of your address change to prevent any service interruption to your subscription.
Stampington & Company cannot be held responsible for replacing "lost" issues from your subscription, if we did not receive your change of address request at least two months prior to your next issue's release date.
Subscription issues should arrive within the first week of the month your publication is released. Please add up to two weeks for international delivery.
If your magazine has not arrived by the 20th of the month, please contact our customer service department, so we can check to make sure nothing is amiss with your subscription, and see if you're eligible for a replacement copy. International subscribers can receive a digital version of the magazine as a replacement if one attempt has already been made to deliver the print edition to you.
Stampington & Company cannot be held responsible for postal delays or circumstances outside of our control, but we will make every effort to make it right.
