Christmas Tags

Good morning all! It'sMonday already!

The weeks are flying in!

It's time once again for a brand new challenge over at Eureka Stamps!

Our theme for this week is:

#169 Christmas Tags

Here's my little tag:

The image I've used is 2501 Cat With Garland & I've also used the 

sentiment 23703 Meowy Christmas. (I've rotated to make it straight),

I used Kraft cardstock & a spellbinders tag die for the base tag.

I then used some sequin waste as a mask & daubed gold pigment ink & red

liquid chalk ink through in slightly different areas, to give a feeling of added dimension

The image was coloured in areas using alcohol markers.

I used a scalloped oval to cut it out & edged everything with the gold ink.

The image & sentiment were popped up on foam pads for dimension,

then I added some fibres, ribbon, gold braid & a little jingle bell

to finish it off.

You can see the gold shimmer a little better in this photo!

Thanks for popping in!

I hope you can play along in our Christmas Tags challenge,

Good Morning all!

Sorry this post is a bit late! I'm not sure why but Mr Blogger isn't playing nice today!!!

It's Wednesday again & it's time for another fun challenge over at

 Dude Time Doodles!

It's the third Wednesday of the month,which means it's an 

Inspirational Challenge!

The theme is Tag...You're it!

Yep, we'd like you to make a gift tag!

Here's mine!

I used the image 

Rough Night Rodney

He comes with sentiments too!

Rodney has clearly celebrated his birthday in advance!! lol

It;s my Dad's birthday next week & this will be attached to his pressie

which is more than likely to be something with bubbles in! lol

I coloured Rodney with Promarkers then cut him out with an oval nestie.

I matted him onto a scalloped oval which I embossed using the 

Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder.

The sentiment was done on my pc & I matted it onto some embossed card too.

I added a couple of mosaic gems to finish it off!

Here's the Inspiration photo!

I based my layout on the sketch at 365 Cards

Here's the reverse of my tag!

I used a Sizzix Original Scalloped Tag Die & cut it out twice.

I embossed both sections with the Cuttlebug Swirls 

embossing folder. Then stuck them together.

I added an oval section similar to the one on the front

write on! I finished it off with some Funky Fibres!

Thanks for stopping by to look!
