Twelve Tags of Christmas

So thrilled that Loll invited me to be a Guest Designer this her fifth and sadly last year of Loll and Friends, Twelve Tags of Christmas... I know I've enjoyed playing along over the years with many others and we'd all like to thank you Loll, so much for the challenge, the inspiration and encouragement you've shared with us all ... thank you, thank you.
Now here is my CAS tag for you...

I started with cream cardstock and ran it through the Cuttlebug with a snowflake embossing folder... next I swiped Versamark over the raised embossing and sprinkled over with Butter coloured embossing powder and heat set this.... cream on cream effect. Then I die cut three varying sized snowflakes from cream glitter card and an extra two small ones. I arranged the snowflakes with foam tape between the sizes and fixed them to the tag, adding pale gold gems to the centers.  To finish I stamped the sentiment and heat embossed with pearl gold EP, and added this to the bottom and some cream and gold ribbons to the top.
Tricky to photograph, you can just catch the glitter and glossy embossing on the close up.

Techniques - stamping, dry embossing, heat embossing, die cuts   Products - card stock, Versamark ink, embossing powder, embossing folder, dies, ribbons and gems
Thanks for visiting and you have a few more days to join in and share your tags with the Twelve Tags of Christmas challenge.

  13. What a gorgeous and elegant tag, Robyn! I love the cream-on-cream color scheme. It's a non-traditional color for snowflakes and it's so refreshing. The glitter sparkles and gems are a really nice touch and look so pretty!
