Day 5, the last day *sad face*

Happy Friday!!

I was so excited today was Friday....T.G.I.F! Mostly because one of my Simon Says Stamps shipments was supposed to arrive, but when I called my freight forwarder it seemed there was a delay in the freight shipment and now I have to wait a whole week again before I can get my goodies *frown* So tonight I had to make due with what I have in my stash for day 5 (our final day) of the online card classes holiday workshop 2014 *another frown* I swear the week flew by and there were so many helpful ideas, some I still really want to try out and practice.

Today it was all about tags! I was super happy that was today's topic. I am planning to make tags this year for my presents I will give to family and friends.
I decided to try a window tag tonight, it seemed to be the easiest thing to try and I was still bummed, since my tag dies were supposed to arrive today too. I made due with a free printout of tags I found on Pinterest.

Here is what the finished tag looks like:

Some items used: 

• Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Peacock Feather
• Number Die: Lawn Fawn Finley's 123's 
• Sentiment Stamp: Fiskars (Don't know the name of the set) 
• Star/Snowflake stamp: Lawn Fawn (Don't know the name)
• String: Hemp Cord 
• Brilliance Dew Drops in Pearl Sky Blue
• Hero Arts Black Dye Ink

Day 4

Ok, so I skipped some of the other days from the online card workshop. I did try out the watercolor technique we learnt, but I think I wet my paper too much and I messed up my project. I will retry in the weekend most likely. Today's lesson was a lot of fun and was based on one-layer cards. I still want to try out one of the techniques, but I am waiting on some of my new goodies to arrive and as soon as they do, I will have lots of fun playing around.

I decided to try today's lesson by Julie Ebersole. I didn't have a die to use, but instead I used a paper die that I recut on some scratch paper and then used that to stamp around. I used Green Hills shadow ink by Hero Arts. 

I really love how the embossed "Happy Holidays" came out. I used Gold Tinsel embossing powder by Ranger. Let me know what you think of my card.
