'Tis The Season

Winter Sports, Anyone?


'Tis the season for skating, tobogganing, skiing and of course... hockey. This tag was created with my son-in-law in mind. Any hockey enthusiast would like this one!

Go Canada! Cartridge


I knew I was going enjoy using the cute hockey skates, net, sticks and puck. There is also a goalie stick on the cartridge. In fact, the skates were my reason for buying this cart.


Skates

I couldn't resist adding a few details to the skates. They needed laces! I made them long enough to be wrapped around the ankles a few times, the way players wear them. I also gave the blades an extra shimmer of silver ink on the edges.

Layers

Hockey rink gift tag, skates, stick, puck and iceThere are 5 layers to this tag. The skates are popped once for the left skate, and twice for the right skate which overlaps the other. Their aqua background is also popped from the white ice rink background.

The pic at left shows the layers better.

I entered this tag in the Kraft Journal Challenge, Make It Monday Challenge 207 -
