While I was in my stash of Christmas supplies I also found this set of tags which I printed off a while back. They are also from Homemade Gifts made Easy. I trimmed them from the sheet using my paper trimmer, added a large gold brad in the hole at the top and a gold confetti star to the tops of the trees using glue dots. Next, I embellished the pots with gold gel pen and gold shimmer water colour. Added a tiny bit of brown watercolour to the stems as well. I auditioned them with several different backgrounds and eventually selected two different hand decorated ones from my stash. They are paste paper from a session I did a while back with my sister. We had a lot of fun that day!!! I trimmed them to size and ran my pattern tracing wheel on all four edges. I trimmed dark green card fronts for all of them. The tags still needed something to I added two short lengths of gold ribbon which I secured with double sided tape. That was much better!! So I adhered my background to my card front, added 3D foam tape to the back of my tag and secured it over my background. Green and gold - great Christmas colours. Therese
