IO Blue Challenge

CLICK HERE for MFPaHC BLOG HOP

I created this tag to enter in the Impression Obsessions Blue Challenge. I just discovered this challenge and since I recently purchased some Impression Obsessions dies I decided to create a tag. I will say that the IO dies cut very nicely through my Cuttlebug and I am happy with each set I have in my collection. They are thin American Steel dies at a reasonable price.
Here is my Blue Tag
Recipe
Tim Holtz Bookmark and Tag Die
White Cardstock for Tag
PowderPuff Hawaiian Blue Chalking Ink using a sponge for the sky
Kraft Cardstock to cut the Deer
2 Deer from the IO DIE080-N - Deer Trio
Scraps of blue paper for the birds
2 Birds from the  IO DIE045-F
Scraps of white cardstock to create the snow
I fussy cut the white cardstock and distressed the tops with MS Gray Ink
Blue Tinsel from my MIL stash -she passed at age of 95 in Sept 2013
This is very old tinsel and I am happy to have it to use in crafting
Pop Up tape behind the deer die cuts and the bird die cuts
