CHRISTMAS IN APRIL

Even though the "Anything But a Card" challenge at A Blog Named Hero ended yesterday, I have a tag as one last idea for this challenge.

 

I love to add pretty tags to my Christmas gifts or even put a little pocket on the back of a large tag which then can hold a gift card.  I used an older HA poinsettia stamp on my tag today - actually I made four of these as I had the stamps in my MISTI and had the time (for sure!!).   I stamped the flowers and leaves in Versamark and embossed with white embossing powder onto kraft cardstock.  Then used a slightly damp brush and watercolored only some of the petals on the poinsettia.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set and it was stamped with Versamark and gold heat embossed.  Added some gold Nuvo dots and then spattered with white gouache.  Finally used twine for a little bow and streamers for my tag.

A new fun challenge begins tomorrow at A Blog Named Hero with great inspiration from the design team - be sure to check it out on the 15th!

Thanks for stopping by and love to read your kind comments.
