Tag Team

At As You Like It Challenge this week we want to know if you prefer glitter or metallic card best and why.  I've got a lot more glitter card than mirror and love glitter (card or otherwise) for Christmas makes. I've never really liked using mirror card and find it very unforgiving in photographs, so it's an easy choice for me.

I've created a trio of gift tags using some simple circles on my Silhouette machine and layered with beautifully glittery white cardstock and some die cut snowflakes in pearlescent green. 

I've watercoloured some penguins from Stamping Bella and fussy cut them so they can be raised up on foam pads to create a 3D tag.  I've added some snowflake organza ribbon so they can be tied onto a wrapped gift.

What a gorgeous trio of tags. Love how you've used the snowflakes to frame the cute penguins xx

Wow wow WOW, Annette - this is STUNNING! I simply adore how perfectly you've combined the clean and simple look with the added texture of the specialty papers and clever layering of both actual layers and the stamping/coloring itself. Delightful! Thank you so much for sharing!

Blessings,
