25 Days of Christmas Tags - Merry Christmas

Hello! I'm so happy to be participating in Tracy McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags post today.  I used some of my favorite Reverse Confetti goodies to create my shaker tag, and I'm sure you're shocked to see that adorable deer from Jolly Holiday in use again. *wink* I know, I'm obsessed, but it is just so darn cute!

To create my shaker tag, I started by die cutting the tag shape from medium gray CS, white CS, foam and acetate using the Gift Card Holder Tag CC.  I then die cut several garland using light and medium gray CS and aqua CS using the Circle Garland CC, and adhered them to the white tag base.  The deer was stamped in Versafine ink onto watercolor paper, then heat embossed with clear powder.  The image was then colored with watercolors, and set aside to dry.

Next, I adhered the acetate and foam to the medium gray tag front, then filled it with sequins before attaching it to the white tag base.  One of the sentiments from Jolly Holiday was stamped in Versafine ink onto aqua CS, then attached to the tag front.  I then die cut a topper using the Hang Ups CC dies, and adhered it to the tag.  Several leaf images were then cut out from aqua, light and medium gray CS using the Leafy CS.  Once the deer was dry, I die cut it with the coordinating Jolly Holiday CC, attached it to the leaves, then secured it to the tag front.  To finish up, I embellished with black twine and silver enamel dots.

  

  

Have a great one!
