another tag and card...

Hey there!!  I have another card and a tag to share.   I have been working on my tags for Ellen Hutson's 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist and so far I have three tags done.  The tag I'm sharing today is for day 2, silver and gold.  I was inspired by Keeway's beautiful tags and created something similar.   I die cut the tags from white cardstock and then blended on some Distress Oxide ink in Salty Ocean.  I used lots of Essentials by Ellen products on these little tags!  I started by die cutting the EE Geo Tree from silver and gold glitter cardstock.  EE Brushstroke Peace was die cut from silver and EE Brushstroke Joy from gold.  Finally the star from the Season of Sparkle die set was die cut from silver and gold glitter paper.  I then layered everything on each tag as you see.  I finished the tags by embossing the sentiments (from Brushstroke Christmas stamp set) on black cardstock in white, trimming them out and adhering to the tags.   A bit of white baker's twine was added to each tag, as well.  I will also be adding the tags to the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge.

The card is for the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge, as well as the current SIP challenge Let it Snow and Dies R Us challenge of Christmas carols (mine is Jiggly Bells).   I used more supplies from the Simon Says Stamp limited edition Mint Wishes card kit and some A Jillian Vance Design snowflake dies.  When I saw the SIP challenge I immediately thought of this pretty paper from the kit.  I trimmed it down per the FMS layout and adhered it to the mint cardstock base.  I stamped the little sleigh image from the Yuletide Holiday (also from the Kit) stamp set in Distress Oxide Cracked Pistachio.  I then overstamped the sentiment (from the same stamp set) in VersaFine Smoky Gray and trimmed down the piece.  Snowflakes were die cut from white and vellum cardstocks and adhered together.  I added some loops of silver embroidery floss to the panel and they layered the snowflakes and sentiment on top.

Hope you have a wonderful day!!
