12 Tags of Christmas - Day Four

Welcome to day four!! So...even though I said yesterday's tag was one of my favorites...well...today's tag is in the running for a favorite as well...as is day five, day six...oh shoot, I just love them all this year!! Tim is outdoing himself! :-) Today's tag was focused on embellishments and it was so much fun to decorate. There was minimal stamping involved (only on the ticket stub) and I got to spend more time playing with flower, rhinestones, and jewels.

I started with this amazing vintage Santa image from a sheet of Kasier Craft designer paper. The paper is already pretty aged looking so I only added a bit of Walnut Stain Distress Ink to the edges to hide the light color of the tag. I then added a rhinestone embellishment (I adore these!!) from Prima. Next came two rows of pearls on the bottom of the tag (these are from Kasier Craft) along with a few lovely flowers from Petaloo. The flowers did a great job of hiding the end portion of the rhinestone flourish. The ticket stub came next and was held on with a tiny paper clip. The tag was finished by adding a piece of velvet ribbon (American Crafts), a mini vintage tag, and some jewel baubles (from Tim's new collection) to the top of the tag. Tim also did a great tutorial on the creating beautiful jewel facets, which I didn't include on my tag, you can check it out here. Enjoy today's tag and be sure to check back tomorrow for the huge Tiffany Doodles blog hop and challenge!!
