Christmas Card Throwdown

Wish

Hi there everybody, I haven't put anything on my blog since last week, but made this 9" tag, a Christmas one, as I am starting to make tags for my Christmas presents.   I got the inspiration from the Funkie Junkie, on one of their recent blog emails, I really liked it and so I made this one to enter into the October Colour Challenge on 52 (Christmas) card throwdown, http://52cct.blogspot.com.au , the challenge is to use three of the following colours: Dark Pink, Light Pink, Dark Blue, Light Blue, Green.   I think I have achieved this with a light pink, a dark pink and green.   I cut this tag out of cardstock, and reinforced it with a darker piece of card from a package, I used white copy paper and used a Memory Box stencil Texture Diamond with a Memento ink pad, Cottage Ivy, and also used that colour for the Christmas Tree, which is a stamp I received with Australia Simply Cards, for the Merry Christmas I used a mini ink pad from Tim Holtz, Spun Sugar, and a ticket with Wish on it, a dark pink, I used red and white washi tape for the stem of the tree and some christmasy ribbon for the bow and I used a jewelled brad to hold it onto the tag, I also used a Marianne's Creatable cutting die for the pointsettia, and a dark pink stick-on jewel for the centre, I also used a plastic bow on the top edge and inked this up with the Spun Sugar ink, and I am happy with how this turned out.
