Vintage Christmas

Well, it's no secret how much I LOVE "Victorian Elements"!  So, after I made the tag, I had to put it as a focal image on a card. 

I stamped "Script Background" from TAC (love that stamp!) with Cognac Palette ink for the background.  Then, I took my sponge and distressed the edges with Jardin Moss Palette ink.  The only other thing I did before I adhered the tag was to take some DCWV White core paper and punched a border and then used a sponge to distress it, bringing out the white core. 

I know it's hard to tell in the photo, but before I glued the kraft piece of the tag to the green scalloped mat, I crumpled it up to give it even more of an aged look (I did this before when I made the tag).

Hope you enjoyed it!

Here's the second of my "tag" cards.  I like how the colors pop on this one.  This is another simple one, 10 minutes or less to make it from start to completion.

I stamped polka dots with Champagne VersaMark ink.  Love that subtle shimmer!

Pink Christmas

Remember those tags that I made earlier this week for the blog hop?  Well, I decided to take those and turn them into the focal images of cards.  I kept these cards super simple so the whole card, with tag, only takes 10 minutes or LESS to make! 

Today I'll share with you the first one which also happens to be my favorite of the 3 and I'll share the other 2 cards over the next few days.

This is such a fun, non-traditional color combination!  I am really liking it.  I may have to try it again.  I stamped the polka dots (from Papertrey Ink) on the pink paper in Champagne VersaMark so it has a subtle shimmer to it. 

This shows the dimension.  I used some very thin pop dots to pop up the "tag".  See that button?  I tied scrappers floss through it and left the ends to come out the bottom of the button (the underside).  Then, instead of tying it, I used a glue dot to adhere the ends down and it also adheres the button to the cardstock.

Hope you enjoyed it!
