Holiday Tags - Day 7

Well, this is it - my last tag (well, last tag that I've made through December 4th).  I had one more remaining blank tag laying on my work table and was wondering what to do with it.  I knew I had a poinsettia stamp that I hadn't used...and also knew that the color pink was missing from my previous tags....so I started with that.

I stamped the poinsettia out twice in Memento ink and cut out some layers.  I stamped leaves from PTI's All About You set and cut those out. Next I covered the tag in Shabby Shutters Distress Ink and stamped a Hero Arts swirl with Peeled Paint.  I added glossy accents over the swirl lines.

I didn't just want to add glitter to the center of the poinsettia, so I got out my beads and decided to use embroidery floss and sew the beads on.  I really love how it came out.

Here's a super close shot:

I used muted green beads around the edges and one clear green in the center.  I finished off the poinsettia with some perfect pearls for some shine.

I added a To/From circle and my final tag was done!!

I had so much fun making these tags! Now I'm going to have to step up my wrapping of gifts to match these tags!! (or better yet, I will buy some plain wrapping paper so the tags stand out!!)

By the way - I don't think I mentioned that all of my tags were cut from a Sizzix die cut.

Hope you're having a great day!!
