Waltzingmouse Tag Challenge

Hi all, today I have something a little bit out of my comfort zone! A tag! I'm entering the FAB competition over on the Waltzingmouse Blog, the prize is AMAZING - you can find the details HERE

Not really used to making something so small, but once I got started, my mojo was flowin'! It was meant to be a totally different colour, more traditional christmas colours, but, it ended up all silvery gold and kraft!


I've use kraft cardstock from Woodware as my base, and Versamarked the snowflake image and sentiment Jingle Bells as a background from Seasons of Love. Then used my Nestabilities Labels one to cut the shape.


Then heat embossed a frame from Holiday Labels 14, and hand cut out very easily. I then stamped the sentiment in white chalk ink and mounted onto a Fancy Label cut from some pale yellow bazzill. Then using foam dots, adhered this to the front of the label.


On the back I have stamped the flourish, 'To' and 'With Love From' in versamark and added some gems, and an ivory chiffon bow. Here's another pic to show the ribbed effect on this card, no need for journalling lines!!

I threaded two types of ribbon through the top of the tag, and a ribbon bow on the bottom, then threaded some beads onto a tassel and fiddled for ages to get it through the hole and hide the knot!

As a last flourish, I added some pearls to the tag hole on the front - well Claire did say to break out the pearls!!

I love this tag, makes me feel all christmassy - I may make another in those traditional colours!
I'm also going to enter this tag into the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge, which is for anything but a card.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.
