Using some dies from Reverse Confetti cut the tag from some metallic purple cardstock and the dotted cover plate from some darker purple.  Die cut the squiggle (wreath) from some metallic silver.  Punched out the little branches in purple and white and covered with Stickles.  Stamped the sentiment on some gray with Memento Elderberry ink.  Added a couple of Raindrops dots and open circle and tied on some silver twine.

I can't wait to see what they have for us tomorrow!

I also made a card for the sketch challenge at Reverse Confetti playing with a new die and cardstock from them.

I chose to go with frozen snowflakes and a snowgirl.  Die cut a deep pink tag and stamped it with Ellen Hutson's Bokeh Dots by artist Julie Ebersole in WPlus9 white ink.  Die cut the snowflake border from some white glitter paper.  Stamped and colored the snowgirl by Penny Black and cut her out.  Stamped the sentiment from Concord & 9th with Palette Silver ink.  Added a white ribbon and tied with some blue twine.

Thanks for taking a peek!

I really thought I was going to have to sit this one out, but it is a challenge after all!  Die cut the tag and sprayed with coral and yellow shimmer mist and when dry, stamped the sentiment with Versafine Sepia.  Adhered some brown felt to some cardstock with an adhesive sheet and die cut the Tim Holtz deer.  Added a little black to it's hooves with a Touch Twin marker.  Added some Tim Holtz tinsel in a light green and die cut the little red bow which has some red Wink of Stella on it.  Die cut the big star from some white glitter cardstock and put it all together.

Thanks for visiting!

Someone is getting sunglasses for Christmas!  Die cut the green polka dot tag and stamped a flourish with Memento Nautical ink.  Die cut the sunglasses twice, added glitter, then pieced them back together.  Stamped the little sentiment and layered onto a pink tag that was also glittered.  Added the satin ribbon and tied the little tag onto the ribbon with green baker's twine.

Thanks for taking a look!
