Zelda Snowflake Tag

This week's Inspiration Challenge comes from the wonderful home wares of Company C.  Started in a garage by Chris and Walter Chapin in 1994, Company C is now a premier design studio and leading producer of exceptional home furnishings, all infused with their passion for color.

I chose this luxurious Zelda Pillow in Copper and Wine to inspire my holiday tag.  Exuberant, over-scaled blossoms in vivid colors capture the larger-than-life insouciance of Zelda Fitzgerald ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald’s wife and iconic flapper of the Art Deco era.

I loved the unusually color combination and the all-over floral coverage.

I started with copper metallic cardstock and stamped several images before deciding on Hero Arts Stunning Snowflakes stamped in Warm Violet Chalk ink and embossed with Poly Sparkle Embossing powder for a little snowy shimmer.  I love how the all over snowflake design captures the same richness found in these wonderful flowers.  

I die cut my holiday tag for this month's Hero Arts Challenge using the Sizzix Ornate Frame Back #3.  I used a small circle punch to punch out the center of the top snowflake, which was serendipitously perfectly placed, to attach some metallic copper ribbon.  

This tag also works for Sharon's Stamp Simply Challenge to create a tag & the Drunken Stampers Punch Me Challenge (Large Label, Small Label, Oval & Circle punches used).

I stamped one of the coordinating (love that) Hero Arts Four Framed Snowflakes with Warm Violet ink on the copper cardstock and then punched it out with a label punch.  The oval punched sentiment is from Hero Arts Get Merry stamped in Warm Violet on a pale yellow cardstock.  It was accented with two violet pearls before attaching the label to the tag with foam tape for dimension.

I hope you find inspiration.
