Wishing You A Merry Christmas

 

It's a very rainy day here in Southeast Missouri, and I had the good luck to have the day off from work. I can't think of anything better to do on a rainy day than get crafty! I had a tag in my stash from a very old paper pad (so old that I forgot who made it), and I thought it would be fun to finally use for the latest Sketch Saturday card challenge. I started with patterned paper from The Paper Studio's Vintage Christmas 6x6 paper pad. I broke up the patterned papers with some beautiful black and white ribbon I picked up at Hobby Lobby for 99 cents. I adhered some of the gingham patterned paper to the top of the tag, and then cut it down smaller using an MFT pierced edge tag die. I used a hole punch and some twine and extra ribbon to add a nice bow to the top of the tag, and then popped it up off of the card base. Using the My Art C Holiday Sayings stamp and die set I created the wreath and the deer. I popped the wreath up using thin foam dots and then adhered the center flat to the tag. I added the deer to the right of the wreath and added a few black sparkling gems that I had in my stash for a finishing touch. Thank you for stopping by my blog!
