For today’s blog hop I created four simple Christmas gift tags using the newly released Decorative Tags Die Set.

I cut my tags out of white and kraft cardstock. For some of them I used Garden Harmony 3D Embossing Folder to add some texture to the background.

I decorated them with branches of leaves cut out of white cardstock using Just Leaves Die Set and coloured with green markers from Tropical Garden Artist Alcohol Markers Set E. I also used two snowflakes from Layered Snowflakes Die Set and sentiments from Modern Poinsettia Stamp Set

To finish my tags off I added some natural dried elements: mini cones, a slice of orange and a cotton flower.

I used a no line colouring technique and I stamped my image with light grey ink rather than the usual black. Next, I used pink markers from Sunshine Valley Garden Artist Alcohol Markers Set F and green colours from Tropical Garden Artist Alcohol Markers Set E to colour the floral elements in.
