Ready to ring in the New Year

Today I have a tag that would be a lovely addition to that hostess gift you're taking with you on New Year's Eve. Perfect for a package or hanging on a bottle of wine, this tag will let you ring in the New Year on a festive note.

My inspiration for this tag was the lovely lady in black and white. I saw her on the Life in the 20s collage sheet and had to use the image. Don't you just love flappers with all the fringe?

I made an urban background with a brick stencil and two colors of ink. I chose one of the clocks on the Time Travel stencil that is about to hit 12:00 midnight. The bricks and clock are available at Altered Pages and they are two of my favorite stencils. I added a cityscape with silver ink windows and then layered on some fancy lace and holiday collage images.
Now...where's the party?

Supplies used:
Bricks stencil
Time Travel stencil
Ink
Lace & fibers
Tacky Glue (to hold down the lace)
Double-sided adhesive
Black rhinestone (for the clock center)

Collages:
Life in the 20s
Calendar Numbers 1-31
Dressed To Ring In the New Year

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
