I used a vintage tag image from Crafty Secrets for the main image on the tag. I matted it on to red glitter card stock, and then matted that onto green embossed card stock. I then added a border of glitter on the edge of the image with Pumice Stone Distress Glitter. I made a small floral embellishment with flowers and picks from Wild Orchid Crafts. I just love the Silver Spiral Stamens!
Nothing finishes off a tag and brings it all together more than the ribbons you add at the top. Really Reasonable Ribbon has so many beautiful ribbons and trims to help with this. I used plaid Christmas Ribbon, silver metallic grosgrain, red burlap string, and white jute string.
I hope you enjoy my vintage Christmas tag, and join in the fun with your own tag! Have a wonderful day.
I am entering this tag for the current linky party going on at Crafty Secrets. The themes are Christmas, Calenders, or Cooking.
