24 Tags of Christmas 2015: Watercolor Snow

November 9, 2015 by Sandy Allnock 129 Comments Filed Under: 24 Tags of Christmas, Watercolor

Welcome to the 24 tags of Christmas series for 2015! I love putting this together each year. Well two years in a row at least! If you’d like to see last year’s day one tag, click HERE. Let’s go!

I spent time searching the couch cushions to find some time to try out the Prima Water Soluble Oil Pastels – and I think they’ll be fun! In today’s tag video I’ll show you how I made the multicolored watercolor snowy background…it’s so easy, your kids can help you with it!

Video

Check out the video below, or click HERE to see it in HD on YouTube!

I love that these Oil Pastels can vary the look based on how much water is added – AND that the color doesn’t re-activate once dry! Perfect to use for kiddos with sticky fingers opening tags this holiday season, am I right? And oh – Postcards or envelope stamping? Yes please. No worrying about the USPS smoodging a stamp!

Sandy Allnock 24 Tags Watercolor Snow

Giveaway!

Handmade is the best kind of giveaway! Each year I give away all of the tags made in the series – so there will be 24 winners! To sweeten the pot, I am giving a financial donation to 24 charities in the name of each of the winners – so they’re going to get to pick which charity they love most.  To qualify to win, leave a comment on this post with YOUR favorite charity, and a comment on the YT video each day all week. I’ll pick 12 from blog comments and 12 from YouTube comments, and announce them all on Sunday the 15th!

    Loved all of your tags, and the Kraft with unicorn in today’s post so very much! The Copic on wood tags were so unique and creative! My favorite charity is the American Behcet’s Disease Association. Being a Behcet’s warrior myself is obviously how I was introduced to the charity. It is an autoimmune disease which is extremely rare….even more so in the Americas. Due to the rarity there has not been enough research on good treatment options because it wouldn’t be financially beneficial for the drug companies. The ABDA has been a huge resource for me and other Behcet’s warriors in the USA. Love and hugs to you for everything you do. God bless!

    Really cute tags. My favorite charity is the Cat Adoption Team in Sherwood Oregon. It is a no-kill shelter and frequently takes cats from other shelters around the country. We also have a program that provides cat food to the meals-on-wheels clients with cats.

    Love this look, Sandy! Great cool colors with a touch of warmth. And I love the “melted” look of the tags where you added more water. My favorite charity is Covenant House. Thanks for offering a donation to the winners’ chosen charities as well! Talk about a win-win! 🙂
