I got tired of working on Manila tags with Tim Holtz' 12 Days of Christmas, and I got tired of doing Christmas tags when I'm Jewish, and I finally got tired of the manliness of his stamping style - he never colors, he only stamps and burnishes, and he puts hardware on EVERYTHING!
I decided that I could achieve the same result he achieved with masking simply by Coloring Outside the Lines. I love coloring on Silver Lustre paper from the Paper Temptress more than anything, so I popped a sheet of some Vintage Silver Lustre into my printer and printed out this digital stamp of a menorah, cut out a tag, whipped out my LaPlume markers, and went to town! I didn't have a Hanukkah sentiment stamp, so I just wrote the words with a Zig 2-way glue pen and did the Faux Leafing technique. The flames have stickles on them. As a final declaration of my femininity, I used buttons and a bow to finish off my tag! No metal at all! I love the hot pink and teal with a hint of purple - definitely my favorite Hannukah color combo.
Whew! I'm glad I got that out of my system!

Sounds like somebody needs some chocolate.
I like your tag. I like that it is colored and the blue is gorgeous on white and would look yuckky on beige.
However ... I already mailed you a Christmas card and didn't know you were one of the lucky ones who SHOULD have gotten one of my one=of=a=kind Hannukah cards.
Maybe next year.
This is a beautiful tag, Juliet. I love the colours you used. Thanks for creating with us at TPE this week. Happy Hanukkah.
This is the most beautiful one of a kind Hannukah card I have ever seen! So glad that you follow your plans and make your own design and colors as it is fabulous!! Happy Hannukah!
