Tag Tuesday -Christmas Colors: Gold or Silver and a Fish in a Box

The last Tag Tuesday Challenge at Kard Krazy before Christmas. This one was to use gold or silver on a Christmas tag. And I love to do bling!

Gold foil is used for the background, and then altered a bit with alcohol inks. I had a lovely Poinsettia flower full of sequins, so I thought that would be the perfect contrast. I added 2 tiny gold foil reindeer at the top (kind of hard to see), a tiny jingle bell on twisted trim and then finished it with gold stickles around the sides of the tag.

The other night I had some difficulty falling asleep, so I went upstairs to my studio and was doodling around, and this was the result:

I painted the fish and box with watercolor, added the background colors with watercolor, pastel chalks and Lumiere paint.There's also a little glitter on the fish and box; I have a hard time not adding glitter somewhere!

Hope your Christmas week is going well!
