.....................And a little inspiration from Tim are this weeks challenge from Simon Says Stamp and Show.

I've not had chance to join in with the 12 tags of Christmas so this was my ideal opportunity to indulge in a little tag creativity, creating a tag accordion. Each tag has a little inspiration from Tim thrown in for good measure using many of the Alterations dies including Winter Wonder, Reindeer Flight, Carved Ornaments, Tag & Bookplate, along with the Mini Reindeer & 25, and Joy. A little texture has been added using the Snow Flurries Texture Fade and a little Clear Embossing powder. A colour palette of blues/torquoise/green have been used for this seasonal creation with the help of Distress Ink Broken China and Weathered Wood along with paper from the Kraft-Core Nostalgic Collection.

My reindeers have had a good coat of Clear Rock Candy to add texture along with the addition of Baubles to a couple of my reindeers. Christmas Muse Tokens add a little dimension.

I created an accordion from my tags mounted onto Bazzill card stock, making a perfect alternative Christmas Card.  The snowman has one of my favourite backgrounds; I added broken china ink to the flurries texture fade, added my card and then embossed my tag.

On the reverse of the accordion I have used the background stamp from the Seasons Silhouettes and added white highlights with a gel pen. I have used the aperture from cutting the Reindeer Flight as a stencil and added Distress Ink vintage photo. Smaller reindeers have been added to the tags, one having Glossy Accents added to the aperture. Adding wish using Alpha Parts gives further dimension. The Carved Ornament has had the same background stamp added using Archival Ink manganese blue.

Ribbon and a Christmas snowflake from the Christmas Adornments complete my accordion.
