25 Days of Christmas Tags - Pretty Pink Posh

Hi, I'm excited to be participating this year in the big 25 Days of Christmas Tags event hosted by Tracey McNeely.  All month long designers from a plethora of stamp companies who are sponsoring this fun event, hope to inspire you with handmade gift tags for the Christmas season.  Today I am proud to be representing Pretty Pink Posh with this trio of pastel tags.



Products used in the making of these tags are - Scallop Square Tags for the dies.  Pink tag uses stamps from Winter Woodland.  Blue tag uses stamps from Winter Wonderland and the Green tag uses stamps from Holiday Pals for the background and the little girl is from Winter Woodland again.



As you can see from the image above for each tag I die cut the smaller tag 3 times.  They might be small but they are mighty!   I softly ink blended each die cut both front and back because you can see in the side.  The top die cut was stamped and heat embossed in white for the snowfall and then I used the little hinged flap die included in the set to die cut an opening.



Each little tag was stamped with its own Pretty Pink Posh sentiment - the one above is from the Winter Wonderland stamp set.  This was stamped on to one of the solid die cuts, making sure it would nicely align with the flap opening.   Each die cut was then adhered to the next, layered up on dimensional foam tape, providing such a pleasing affect when viewed from the side.



To finish each tag I stamped my images on to Bristol Smooth cardstock with Ranger Archival Ink in black,  I watercolour painted the images using Kuretake Zigs and highlighted a few points with a Uniball Signo White gel pen.  I then die cut them and applied them with more foam tape making sure the flap would still open up to reveal the sentiment inside.

The final touch was the addition of Pretty Pink Posh sequins and I used some cream and silver baker's twine tied through the top.

Such a fun little project!  Thank you for coming by my blog to read.
