Christmas 'Drop' Ornament Tag, Holly & Berry, Female

I'm jumping out of order with this post as it ties in to Day 6 of Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags event.

Here's my design for today...




...  and once again, it's Tracey's tag (below) that has inspired me to play along.





I've stuck fairly closely to Tracey's design idea's this time around. 

The ornament shape is similar, but rather than add a sentiment on top I've cut into my tag to create an aperture.
 Then it was simply a case of stamping a sentiment onto a scrap of acetate and mounting that behind the front tag piece, adding a scrap of scripted pattern paper (for visual interest) and then adding a white tag behind before sandwiching it all together to neaten it up.

 I also added in the mismatched holly leaves.  
(Thanks for sharing, Tracey.  I never would have thought of that)!

As you can see, I went for a stitched button die with Glossy Accents instead of bells, but all in all...  still quite similar, I think.


Dies used:
Memory Box 'Drop Ornament'
Spellbinders (Nestabilities) 'Small Circle'
Quickutz 'Holly'
Poppystamps 'Stitched Holly Leaves and Berries'
Poppystamps 'Stitched Buttons'


Other:
Cuttlebug 'Snow' Embossing Folder
Crafter's Companion 'Christmas in Mulberry Wood' Stamp
Centura Pearl Cardstock
Acetate
Glossy Accents
Backing Paper
Silver Thread

I'm also adding this to Pixies Crafty Snippets Challenge as once again, it's a whole tag made from snippets...




...  and as Happy Little Stampers still have their Christmas Tag challenge running I'll add it to that, too ...



...  and 





I'll post more tags for Christmas next week.

Thanks for stopping by...

Donna.

  4. Absolutely gorgeous Donna! How cleverly you made the tag using a MB die for the ornament shape and then cutting the aperture, facing it with acetate and popping some PP behind before adding the back layer of another ornament! And also the little extra touch of embossing the ornament with a snow EF - before topping it all off with the holly. Just perfect! I had to list all that you'd done in the hope that it will now lodge in my single brain cell as I'd love to CASE this some time!
