Tag, Day 5

I catching up with Day 5 of Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags event! I could have happily used any of the day's tags as inspiration, but chose to go with Gayatri Murali's pretty tag. Here is my version: 

As you can tell, I was totally inspired by Gayatri's doubly-sponged "merry" sentiment, and chose to use the same die cut. I went with the more traditional red and green, opting out of the purple. I also simplified her base layer by using a circle of patterned paper. A few sequins, some ribbon and cord, and I like it! 
This is my second post of the day... I'm one of the designers for Tracey today! I hope if you get a chance, you'll play along.
