Christmas Card Challenges

week #44 Tags

The challenge we have this week is: Tags! You can interpret this in any way you like as long as there is a tag somewhere. Please keep in mind that all challenges are optional.

  Any Christmas/Winter/Holiday card will do.

A2 card edges rounded

pattern paper from K&Company

Snowflakes cut from Joys of the Season

the Tag is from Planitin Schoolbook

I just foam tape to put it on the card but made it

less sticky by putting it on a scrap piece of card stock

first then removing it this way the tag is usable for who ever

receives the card and there is a snowflake from the pattern paper so the card

will still look good.

Silent night stamp is from Hero Arts
