Since I started making my tags on Day 2 of the 12 Days, I decided to go back and make a tag inspired by Sharon Harnist's elegant tag for Day 1. I didn't have any Christmas Angels in my stash, so I decided to dress-up Christy Tomlinson's She Leaped Angel for the holidays.
I wanted a similar effect on the background, but instead of embossing with white powder, I started with White Washed Core'dinations Cardstock that I embossed and sanded. The Angel was stamped on the same cardstock & embossed. I stamped her a third time on DCWV Glitzy Glitter Cardstock for the wings … first time trying this cardstock … it is so smooth and sparkly with no glitter rub-off … I even heat embossed on it.
I hand-cut her crown and added her *Christmas Tree Skirt" (inspired by Berniece from Designing Women in her Christmas Tree Skirt). I finished with some gorgeous May Arts Satin Ribbon in blush salmon pink (to cover the seam in my cardstock) instead of the flower.
Here is Sharon's inspiring tag.
I'm also joining the Christmas Challenge at Pretty Little Ribbon Shop.
Two great tags and I especially like the second one with the sweet angel had glittery wings and Crown.
Thanks so much to sharing with us at Pretty Little Ribbons challenge this month.
