Today's creation will be entered into the Challenges at Papertrey Ink, Fabric Strip Christmas Trees, Penny Black, Anything Christmas and Stamping Sensations, Festive Flowers And Foliage.
I actually had one of those 'fat quarters' of Christmas fabrics in my stash. Weird! And lucky! I cut several strips from 4 different prints to create my tree. I used a skewer as the trunk and after tying all the fabric on I wrapped it in a strand of pearls and topped it off with a few rustic looking buttons. This was all mounted on to a tag cut using MFT's Stitched Traditional Tag die.
Using the star stamp from the PTI set, Polka Dot Parade #9, and Versa Mark Ink I stamped several of them all over the tag. The sentiment (merry) is from their City Scene Christmas Sentiments, which I stamped twice on the small tag. The glitter star at the top was cut using an MFT die, Sun, Moon And Stars set. An eyelet, button, twine and another piece of fabric for accents.
This was a FUN project. I like it as a tag and may make more, maybe on a smaller scale as this tag measures 5" long.
Hope you are all having a wonderful week, thanks so much for coming by!
Enjoy~~
Your tree is loaded with lots of stuff. I love it. At first, I didn't think that I would use a tag like this, but I am going to make more too.
ReplyDeleteLove your tree Donna, especially the pearls wrapped around it! Love the idea of it being on a tag too as these are definitely not mailable, but would look great attached to a gift! :0)
ReplyDeleteAnyone would love receiving this on a package! So sweet. I may have to make one as a tag too;)
