JOYOUS HOLIDAY RAGS

I decided to get started on holiday projects.  For these tags I used the tag feature on "Joys of the Season".  To begin with I cut the design layer out of blue chalkboard paper by DCWV.  Then I cut a blank, larger tag out of black.  I backed the cut outs with Sook Wang tape.  I used Martha Stewart glitters and flocking.  The micro beads are Recollections.  I used MCT sentiments and die for the bow.  The pearls are Paper Studio.  The polar bear tag is embossed with a cuttlebug folder that has a skittle in the middle.  I used Sew Easy thread, 3 Girl jam ribbon, My Minds Eye twine and ribbon scraps.  The patterned papers on the cup and mittens are Paper Studio.  I am entering this into FCCB "Tag You are it challenge"  I am also linking up to DL Art Thankful Thursday September Linky Party

I stamped the flowers on white cardstock, then I cut them out with my Big Shot.  Next, I inked the flowers with several shades of Colorbox ink.  Then I turned the flowers over, sprayed them with water and curled them with a stylus.  Next I turned the flowers over and pushed in the center.  Then I sprayed with Tsukineko Glitter Spray.  Then I added glitter to the petals, layered the flowers and filled in the middles with glitter and beads all by Heartfelt Creations,  I inked up part of a doily and attatched it to the purse,  Then I added the flowers and some sequins.(They are a pkg that came with a blouse.)The bird embellishement is Jolies.
