Hello everyone and Merry Christmas!
Today, I am sharing a tag that was so much fun to make! It's a rare event for me when I have an idea and I can keep the project in that direction (lol). I knew I wanted the tag to look rustic and have the colours of silver, blue, and white. I am so happy with the way the tag turned out. My inspiration for this tag came from Frank Garcia. His Christmas tags are so pretty. I found many versions of his tags done by other crafters; however, none in the colours I had in mind. So I was somewhat on my own with this journey. I purchased the papers at our local craft store in Waxahachie (Crafter Scrapper). The paper is by Bo Bunny's TIS THE SEASON collection. The sheets I used were:Tis The Season Yuletide #20501706 and Tis The Season Peace #20501702. The darker print with the large snowflakes was some paper I had in the stash. The largest tag (base) is a pre-cut chipboard tag from Heart of Texas Studio (they come 2 in a pack). I used 2 different Tim Holtz dies to cut the other two tags out of the patterned paper. I added some dimension to those smaller die cut tags by cutting out some 2mm Fun Foam in the same shapes (Fun Foam purchased at JoAnn's). I used score tape to adhere the patterned paper to he fun foam. The silver swirls were cut using Tim Holtz's Thinlets "Scribbles & Splats" and the branches are from Tim Holtz Thinlets "Holiday Greens". The deer is a Tim Holtz Alterations Movers & Shapers-"Mini Reindeer & 25 Set". I made the bow using Tim Holtz's Alterations die "Bow-Tied". I used a Fleur-de-Lys mini background stamp on the deer and embossed with silver/gray embossing powder. The poinsettia was cut using Spellbinders "Layered Poinsettia" #S5-055. The bow, the scribbles, the 25, and the poinsettia are cut out of DCWV's 12 x 12 "Glitzy" Glitter Cardstock Stack (it's the smooth glitter cardstock). I used some silver 1/2" ribbon from JoAnn's and some silver flat back adhesive backed pearls that I got from Hobby Lobby. The little blue cluster is from Michael's holiday stems. I made the tag by using a Spellbinder's pennant die, transparent card stock from Michaels, Staz On Opaque, dots/spots mini back ground stamp, and a (retired) Stampin Up Greeting. And the last thing I did was to add some silver-gray seam-binding. I absolutely love how this tag turned out.

Here is a close-up of the greeting. I used the STAZ ON OPAQUE die on the transparent CS, the dots/spots mini background stamp to make it look like it was snowing on the greeting and inked the edges to give it a frosted look.
I plan to enter my tag in the following holiday challenges:
