For the background I used a mix of Distress ink and ink from VersaColour to get a good colour mix. Some little stars are stamped and embossed on the background. The edges are distressed with Distress ink.For the house I embossed plain white card with a Cuttlebug embossing folder, coloured it with Distress ink and cut it into a house shape. The template for the house is from Stempeleinmaleins. Windows are dressed with clear vellum and little curtains, the door with patterned paper. The fence is part of the bird cage die cut from white corrugated card.
For the tree floristry wire became very handy .... it was pink so I coloured it with brown ink. The flower embellishments are haberdashery ones.
As finishing touch I added lots of snow (white acrylic paint) and LOTS of white glitter and a little star charm. Oh, and if you wonder about the '24' ... I thought I make it continental (lol) ....
This post is linked to Artyjen's blog. She has organised a: T!m's Splinter Group Linkie for everybody who would like their T!m's tags. It is not a competition, it is just for fun ... even if you don't have anything to link up, you might want to have a look. The tags are absolutely fantastic!
Have a wonderful Sunday afternoon, Petra.

I love this tag, it is great - your fence is really good, I had real trouble with mine!
I think most people have improvised in some way or another, but that makes looking at all the tags much more interesting! Love your tag, the background is beautiful and doesn't the smoke from the chimney look so realistic!
Love your tag :D
