November Tag- Chalk Art 
 
I'm in love!  I had to wait awhile to get my Antiquities Frosted Crystal to make this technique work.  And it was worth the wait!  What a fun technique this is and chalkboard is everywhere.  It really has such a nostalgic look.
 
I made 2 tags  (I couldn't stop chalking) because I wanted to make one with the framelits for the layered technique Tim showed us.  But, I really wanted a pop of colour.  This is where the new Assemblage Snowman was perfect.  I love snowmen!
 
 
I added the enamel tag with some alcohol ink, sail boat blue.  I added the Christmas rubs to the enamel tag.  The stamp set is Old Fashioned Christmas all chalked up.


The Assemblage Snowman is all glittery.  I stained the grungeboard with picket fence and tumbled glass.  Then adding distress glitter to everything. 


I wanted to add another layer of chalking so I cut ribbon flags, stamped and chalked.  I hung them on some tinsel. 


 I made the 2nd tag more like the technique for the November Tag.  I don't have the magnetic plate so I just lined it up.  Then adding the layers with dimensionals.  I also added a little more dimension with the hat, scarf and carrot nose.


Here's my version and Tim's side by side.



 I was really excited for this tag.  I love the nostalgic look of the chalking. This was way too much fun!
