Deck the Halls

Good morning all.

After a very wild Friday night Saturday dawned beautifully here, hop ewe get more of the same today.


Managed an afternoon crafting then a cracking result from my team at teatime...so all in a good day. A Christmas tag to share with you, one of my makes from yesterday.


Mat dies are from Spellbinders...after cutting the fancy one for a card I decided it would be perfect for a tag.  White layer was inked with various DI overstamped with a wet stamp then lightly sprayed with water. Sentiment stamp from HLS; tree die was a magazine freebie; ribbon from my stash.
All card was leftovers from the cards I'd made and the ribbon is recycled :)

Challenges entered:
A Gem of a Challenge - inspired by song or Carol (Oh Christmas Tree)
Allsorts - at least three die cuts
Daring Cardmakers - anything but a card
Jingle Belles - holiday leftovers
