I have a friend who's Birthday it is this Month and came up with this card and tag....
Die cuts, stamping and stencilling have been used on the card.....
The stylised tree Die comes with a coordinating Stamp too, so I masked
and stamped half the tree stamp under the die cut silver tree, heat embossed it
and hi-lighted it with a white pen.
Layers of Die cuts for texture and dimension.
So hard to photo with the bling of the silver card, the alcohol inks and the acetate....
and used black texture paste and then a sprinkling of glitter...
The tag die and Winter sentiment are also Stamplorations.
Stamplorations Tag challenge this month is All About Winter,
which inspired me to make the card and tag with that theme....
Thank you so much for you stopping by...
I used several different colours of alcohol inks onto acetate.....
Challenges I would love to enter.........
Stamplorations - Tagplorations - All About Winter
With the optional twist of texture paste, which I have also used
Stamplorations - Mixed Media - Anything goes, which now also includes cards but you must include a stencil, which I have on the card and on the tag
Watercooler Wednesday - Gail's Masculine Challenge - Anything Goes
The Male Room - Anything goes without the optional twist
Thrilled with my win at The Male Room....Thank you

Stunningly beautiful. I love your alcohol ink background (on acetate!!) and the leaf is just so lovely. Your friend is lucky to receive such a beautiful card and tag. She will love it!
You amaze me Mac with your sense of colour mix. those AI's are gorgeous, I love the monochromatic look and adding the die cuts creating all those layers OMG stunning :)
Oh Mac these are stunning - love your use of the acetate and alcohol inks, and the die cuts and stencilling for added interest.

Wow, Mac ... you captured such a brilliant frosty, winter feel with these gorgeous AI colours and that fabulous stamp-layered-and-cut shimmery leaf ... the finish is equally wonderful on both card and tag! Your friend will be stunned ... they're a gift in themselves! Hugs, Anita :)
There is so much detail on the card and tag it took me a while to take it all in. Love the softness of the alcohol inks in the dark colors and the way you did the tree. The shape of the tag is very pretty and unique and it is beautiful.

Wow! Such a dramatic feel to your card and tag. That alcohol ink background on the acetate is a showstopper. Thanks for joining us at Watercooler Wednesday.
Wow, this is gorgeous Mac! I so love the colors of alcohol inks you used and the look you got on the acetate. The silver helps to add to the "cold, frosty" feel of the card and tag. Love how you used the leaf stamp and die too, I have this one, but I haven't made anything this beautiful. lol I'm sure your friend will simple love this card for her birthday! So appropriate for January. Hugs, Brenda
You utterly clever lady! I love everything about this card and tag. Have a lovely creative week, Angela xxx
So artistic & perfectly wintry! Bet your friend will love these!
These works of art are so extraordinary, Mac! I love the effect of alcohol on acetate and I'm pretty sure the pictures of your sensational card and tag do not do it justice!! Hugs, Darnell
That silver tree is lovely and your alcohol inky background is simply gorgeous - what fabulous colours and effects.

WOW ! Stunning card, Mac ! Love your gorgeous AI background, absolutely striking and fabulous to represent winter. The silver glittery leaf and frame give to the card and the tag even more cold feel. What a gorgeous present for your friend ! I'm sure she will love it. Thanks so much for sharing and for inspiring xx
Wow the alcohol inks onto acetate really create a stunning design for the card and tag.
Hugs Diane
How clever Mac and love the alcohol inks on acetate and the die cut silver glitter tree to one side is so pretty which looks as though you have used it to partially die cut the bottom layer with another over the top. I love the glittery silver dots and the bold black sentiment finishes it perfectly. x
Wow gorgeous card and tag Mac, beautiful colours and details.

What a brilliant set you've made here Mac!! I just love the mix of colors you've achieved with the alchohol on acetate! Really forget about that and need to have a play with it at some point! That silver gliter is the perfect matting as well!! Beautifully done! HUGS

Both as beautiful as the other, i'm sure your friend adored them both. You have such a good eye when it comes to creating these designs Mac, not a speck of bling out of place. There is always a extra embellishment on my makes hiding something that wasn't intended hee hee!!
Thank you so much for sharing. Have a fabulous weekend.

WOW! Stunning works of art, my friend! Beautiful layering of elements to create a very special card and tag for your friend's birthday. LOVE the colours of the alcohol ink on acetate ... sets the tone for the design. Sorry to be late commenting ... not getting notices! xx
That alcohol ink background is just amazing. I have never tried it on acetate. I think that will change soon. An amazing card and tag xx
You achieved to bring out the cold of winter in your awesome tag and card! They are spectacular! Congrats on your Craft Stamper win!
Wow, you always amaze me, Mac! These are fantastic projects! I couldn't believe you used an acetate AI background until I saw the last picture because the effects and the monochromatic colors are so unique and different from AI backgrounds I often see. All the shiny silver and black elements create a winter feeling. I love your care and attention to all details.

Oh my gosh, Mac! To think I almost missed these mixed media masterpieces! After Loll’s e-mail about not receiving e-mail notifications of new posts from you, I realized I hadn’t received one from you in a while either. And you’re not the first that this has happened to me. Anyway, this is a STUNNING set! You just schooled us on how to add the texture and dimension. The colours are fabulous and elegant. I am always in awe of our work. Your friend must have been thrilled... lucky friend! xx
Wow..Gorgeous mixed media tag and card, Mac. I loved how you used your Alcohol Ink Background and your wonderful silver and black color scheme. A real artistic beauty project my friend. TFS Hugs..
P.S. I have not been getting your email notifications either...darn.
love the Alcohol Ink Background - thanks for joining us at the STAMPlorations Mixed Media Challenge
So beautiful. I don't own a single alcohol ink but this really makes me think that I should start a collection. I have wine but that's not quite the same is it! :) You should have your own Art Gallery Mac x
Mac, your card and tag are really stunning! I love the alcohol ink background, it's so artistic. So glad you were inspired by our current TAGplorations Challenge over at STAMPlorations. We hope to see you back again soon! Karola, DT, InvisiblePinkCards
This colour combo is so unique and the extension of the frame caresses this special tree. The choice of silver is so complimentary to this AI piece. Special-stunning and as I said, UNIQUE. xx
Got my other hat on now, and I am still loving this tag!!!! Thanks so much for playing along at STAMPlorations TAGplorations challenge. Good Luck! BTW, did you see that you were the winner at The Male Room? Well Done! hugs xxx
