OK, I gotta admit to being somewhat intimidated by the challenge set before us--I'm pretty much a clean & simple girl, so I had to peek between my fingers to see what Tim's tag would look like today.
My tag is probably worlds apart, but, here goes:
Got out my trusty Crop-a-Dile Chomper with the Angle Corner to make my own clear/acetate tag and one to match from some patterned paper in the MME Rosy Collection (not a Xmas themed pad of paper, but the colors work beautifully!)
Used the Memory Box Lavier Die to cut a wreath shape from Parsley Card Stock.
Made a "reinforcer" from a scrap of red card stock I had laying around, using my 1/4" circle punch and my 1/2" circle punch. Ran that down the shoot of my little Xyron X machine, and secured it to the clear tag.
Applied some Ranger Glossy Accents to a scrap of some paper from that same MME Rosy pad, applied a clear button, let it dry, trimmed it out and threaded it with some slate baker's twine.
In lieu of the pearls Tim used, I decided to stamp some pretty snowflakes with Palette New Canvas Ink and heat set them, then attach the wreath and button with Glue Dots.
Layered the two tags together and tied them with some white seam binding ribbon from my stash.
I love my tag!
Sometimes, inspiration takes you down a completely different path. And, ya' know what? It's all GOOD.
