12 Tags of Christmas - Day 2....Let's Improvise

Note to self....when you say "oh crap, I shouldn't have just done that", it's a little too late to go back and fix what you just did.  Trust me, lesson learned!

On to Day 2...Inspired by Tim's tag, yet not having the tools I needed, I set out to improvise, and things were going rather well, until I picked up that bottle of White Picket Fence Distress Stain.  I should have left well enough along.  You are going to have to trust me on this one, this tag looks better IRL.

Not having Kraft Resist Papers, I set out to create my own background.  I stamped the Christmas Tree Collage from Our Daily Bread Designs in Ranger Black Archival on a piece of Bo Bunny Snowfall pattern paper.  Then colored the tree with STAEDTLER Karat Aquarell Watercolor Pencils and Gamsol.  That's where I should have stopped, but I didn't until after the first swipe of the Picket Fence Distress Stain, too late, it already started to blend with my beautifully colored tree.  No time to move on, I'll fall even further behind!  My accent trim was cut from Bo Bunny Snowfall pattern paper using the Vintage Border Die from ODBD.  To accent I added the cute little Reindeer cut from Bo Bunny papers, and wrapped some Silver Garland around his neck.
