I have used many of Mr T's techniques from 12 tags christmas. Also Entering here the Artistic Stamper Creative Team Blog:Tags

TheStamp man Challenge:Take 3 colours :White ,Blue Black
Something Completely different :Tag your Christmass character

I have die cut the tag from Mr holtz alterations tag die.and have inked with Distress inks ,Faded Blue jeans,& Broken china.Now i didnt have a snowman die cut big enough for what i wanted .So i have used another of the ideas from 12 tags and masked the snowman using Tim Holtz Masking sheet.I have then added Glamour dust to the snowman Let it dry and then aded Clear rock candy Sticklers ontop.
I then used the palstic from pack of ideology embellishemnts die cut the tag from it .Fixed the clear tag to the snowman tag.I didnt have embossing folder suitable so have stamped snowflakes ontop of the plastic,embossed,added sticklers to the snowflakes.Also distressed grundge paper ,punched circle stamped snowflake added brad amd Glamour dust to hide hole of the tag ,and bottom of ribbon.
On the bottom of the tag i have folded over or looped the ribbon to get a different effect.
Added january sticker before adding the plastic.

The design papers is a sheet left over from last year not sure the make.The card is all Stampin Up whisper white.The image is a Crissy Armstrong image "Jolly Santa"i think?.It's coloured with copics and glamour dust again added to santas coat and beard .Which chloe helped do .The lace yes is wonky but daughter also stuck that down...lol.So she has put her stamp on the card sop to speak and the glamour dust all over my craftroom floor...lol.The sentiment she wanted me to use is a Peel off from Papermaina,and then added 4 wee start to the corner of the card.

Hope you like it ,it is of course joint effort,not that ofay with her using my copics just yet..lol
