And that also means it's time for the Waltzingmouse Sketch - what more could you ask for!?! Claire has a really fun ornament/tag sketch for us today - and that's just what I created. It could be an ornament or a gift tag - or a gift tag that can be used as an ornament after the gift is opened?!?!
I used some new toys in creating my ornament/tag today - I just got these 2011 Heirloom Ornament dies from Spellbinders - as well as this Spiral Blooms One die that I used for my larger flower. I made the flower with some pretty paper from Basic Grey called Out of Print - it actually has snow flakes on it! The smaller felt flower was made with a die from MFT.
I used stamps from Victorian Fripperie, Off Beat Backgrounds and Around Christmastime directly on the ornament shape and added a jumbo eyelet to tie my hanging ribbon through.
I cut the ornament again from this pretty piece of patterned paper and adhered it to the back of the tag so the back looks finished off.
