The Make

I decided to create a gift tag using the largest of the Greetings of the Season dies. The bottom layer is Pretty Peacock, the top is water colour paper. I embossed then spritzed the water colour paper and added each of the three colours using water painters.

On a separate piece of water colour paper I added the three colours again and on top, stamped the pine tree in Pretty Peacock. I could have fussy cut these but instead used the little tree die in Iconic Imagery which was a good enough fit.

The house has been stamped and coloured then fussy cut to sit at the bottom of the tag.

Another die from Greetings of the Season has been used to cut the Merry & Christmas tags, I adjusted the length of each by repositioning the die to recut the ends.

Pretty ribbons and threads are an absolute must for a one of a kind tag, here I've used Silver & White sheer ribbon and Lemon Lolly Baker's twine. Now I just need to find a suitable gift to use it with.
