25 Days of Christmas Tags: Day 2

Day Two of Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags! Today we are sponsored by Altenew. 

Altenew sent the Tag team some lovely goodies to play with... except there are currently some labour issues with Canada Post, and so mine are somewhere between New York State and here in Ontario. I will definitely play with them when I get them, but in the meantime, I combined a couple of my sets to make this: 

This uses the dies from Altenew's Create a Wreath set and sentiments from the Tulip stamp set - you know I get a kick out of using a spring-themed set for Christmas! I did some distress ink smooshing on watercolour paper and cut my two branches. And yes, I did cut one *backwards* so I could have them framing the top of the circle. The softer quality of watercolour paper means it's very difficult to see the raw die edges. After embossing the sentiment in white, I adhered the branches and added some white Nuvo dots - mistletoe, right? And the circle was an exact fit for my ornament tag die... like it was meant to be. 

For details on how to participate in this fun event - and perhaps win a prize! - check my post yesterday, or for the definitive guide, visit Tracey's blog, where you'll also see the fabulous makes by the Altenew team and Tracey's team. Enjoy!
