Care to Tag Along?

Happy Monday! I had a chance yesterday to create a card for the current Christmas Kickstart Challenge to use a tag. Here's my take:

Supplies: Paper - DCWV Neutrals A2 card; 

Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110 lb

BoBunny Winter Wishes Collection 6x6

Dies - Hero Arts DI197  Tag Infinity Dies;

Impression Obsession Snowflakes Die Set DIE024-X

Stamps - Hero Arts CL234 Winter's Butterfly (retired)

Other - Michael's gems; foam tape;

ribbon from a My Monthly Hero kit packaging

I already had my fabulous Hero Arts Infinity Tag dies out so that was my starting point. I started digging through my Christmas papers and found some beautiful BoBunny with browns, greys and pink. They reminded me of the neutrals in Julee Tilman's gorgeous card on the Hero Arts Blog for their Stay Crafty with Hero Challenge #9. I decided to use Julee's yummy sketch again and enter my card in that challenge as well.

The snowflakes in the IO set are very unusual in design - just love them! I picked the biggest of the trio &, considering the thick paper, it didn't want to cut all the little pieces. I even used a metal shim and did four passes in the Vagabond. Oh well, decided to go with it but made sure to glue the back so the bits wouldn't fall out. I did remove the outer circles of the snowflake and then added some gems. The beautiful sentiment is from a 2008 Hero Arts clear set; I should use it more often!!

Thanks to Jo at Christmas Kickstart and to Hero Arts for fun challenges to keep me busy. And thank you for visiting! Have a great week!!
