Joy + Peace Tag, Christmas, Stitched Detail

I loved the stitched detailing and 'homey' feel of Melody's tag for Day 23 of Tracey's Christmas tag event...  so much so that I just had to give it a go somehow.

Here's my design...

...  and here's the cute inspiration tag that I based it on...

As you can see, I don't embrace pastel colours easily so I had to have a good long think before my version of this could come together!

Keep on Crafting!

Textured Christmas Tag, Deer + Trees, Peace

 I've used Derwent XL Graphite to create the background of my tag for Day 8 of Tracey's Christmas tag event...  along with some Texture Paste, Silver Gilding Wax and Picket Fence Distress Paint.

This is a 'moody' little number, isn't it?  

Except it's not little at all.  This is a HUGE tag that has lots of texture...  

...  which is nothing like the inspiration tag for today!

But I have stuck to the tree/deer theme with snow and a sentiment...

(I checked - Deer and Reindeer are related)!

I hope your craft mojo is treating you well!

Tag Shaped Card, Christmas, Peace

I made my tag into a removable tag on a tag shaped card for Day 23 of

Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags.

(Try saying that in a hurry)!

Here it is...

Making tags into cards is one of my 'signature moves' I think.

I guess we all have our 'go tos' that we just love to do!

What are yours, I wonder?

Take a look at the gorgeous tag I was inspired by.

It's quite obvious how my design was influenced, isn't it?
