Snowman Face Gift Tag

Materials needed 

Cardstock I used vintage manila file folder 

black Liquid gel pen 

white paint 

black paint 

orange paint, brown paint 

water 

small plastic top for mixing water and paint

a few paint brushes 

a old tag to trace or a ruler to measure and mark your own tags

 scissor to cut out your tags

paper plate or foil to put small amounts of paint

scrap paper 

rubber stamp ( to ; from )or nicely written by you  

cup of water to wash out your paintbrush and a paper towel to dry your brush .

glitter and glue ,
and newspaper to protect you work surface .

First make and cut your tags .Sorry no picture for this step . 

Next

With my gel pen I drew a semi circle in the corner of my tag .

with the white paint file in your semicircle 

put some black paint onto a paper plate and with  the back end of your paint brush dip into some paint no too much test it on a piece of scrap and practice dabbing dots ,till  to you get the hang of how much paint you will need .  Once you get the hang of it give your snowman his 

coal dot eyes I wanted mine to be looking up so I placed them as so .

                              

Now start his coal dots for his mouth

                                

Now for his carrot nose ,us your orange paint make a thin triangle between the eyes and mouth  .I used a fine tipped paint brush ,Since I wanted mine to look up I angled the carrot nose on and angle facing up, just a bit .

                                                     

As you can tell I took pictures of my steps using different tags ,and you don't have to be precise on the number of dots to form the mouth .It looks good with with ether 4 dots or 5 smaller dots .  

This next step you don't have to use a stamp you can hand write the to and From .I make lots of these and it just makes it go faster for me to use a stamp .

Than I added glue ,think coat and covered all the area that I wished to glitter .

I used a paintbrush to help me get the glue in all the right places.

How mine looked after the glitter. I added a bit to his carrot nose for that, frosty look.

Now you can stop at this step just add your string or ribbon .

and your done 

But ,

 if would like to age them ,do not add the string follow these steps .

A drop of brown paint to a few drops of water . 

Mix the paint and water a little at a time, till you get the shade you desire ,

I start out light and just re apply till I get it the way I like it to the look I like .

Brush the mixture to the edge of your card ,the cardstock will soak some up and it will spread out a bit, so take your time .

Should end up looking something like this.

Now you can add you string ,ribbon and your done .Add this to you gifts or make a batch of these and give to sell at craft fairs .

If  you get glitter all over like i do ,Us a damp paper towel to wipe it up .
