25 Days of Christmas Tags

Good morning friends! I am excited about being part of some fun today!! I'm participating in Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Chistmas Tags! Oh, the fun!! 

The Retro Sketch girls, are making tags with the current sketch, #139. So, the sketch is here,

And here is my tag!



 I used a circle stencil, and some pumice stone distress ink to get the gray background of the tag. For my next layer, I used a sheet of velum...I know its hard to see that in the photo, but the top portion of the card is a bit softer...lol!! My beautiful glittered tree is a new image from one of the new TAWS sets, called Making Holidays Bright! Glittery trees are so dreamy!! I used a bit of silver thread...some flat silver sequins with a few rhinestones on top...and then I added a smidge of red paper and the sparkle sentiment. The sentiment is from the Freebie set from TAWS this month, called Winters Butterflies.

Here's a little closer up photo......
