TAG 9? Oh my gosh
only three more left and I am away for 2 weeks. I will have to get
my skates on when I get back.
I have taken quite a
bit of my inspiration from Linda's #9 tag – a brown tag run through the
woodgrain embossing folder, but I dry brushed mine with gesso. I also added dangly
stars and red striped stars with buttons on and instead of a large bow I used
some red burlap that Linda kindly sent me with an order and some shabby ribbon
dyed with walnut stain, I love the richness of the colour.
The red striped stars reflect the little tag at the top and the poinsettia shape is a wooden piece painted and covered in red stickles.
Linda has another 10% off of her already discounted prices at the moment so it is well worth taking a look before she has to close the shop for a few weeks while she moves house.

Linda's 12 Tags of Christmas is
an inspiration challenge and there will be a winner drawn at the end of the 12
weeks for those who have entered each one. There is plenty of time to take part
as each tag challenge will remain open until the

is Linda's fantastic on-line store where she stocks lots of fabulous
products to produce vintage, shabby chic projects.
Hope your week is going well.
Take care.
