Today is day 17 of the 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2019
hosted by Tracey McNeely. You can read about Tracey's fun event and play along here.
I'm
making tags to match holiday wrapping paper and
gift bags that I have on hand. It's been a fun twist to tie all the
elements together. My goal is to each day find a tag that
I'm
inspired by (not hard at all with all the beautiful and creative
designers participating), pick a wrapping paper or a gift bag, and when I
can, use the
sponsor of the day products as well.
I had several gift bags to choose from, but chose one that has been passed back and forth between my sister and I for several years, it's our little tradition now. The bag has holly leaves that are similar to the holly on one of the ornaments.
I used Copic markers to color the ornaments after heat embossing them with Princess Gold powder. I know using Copics with heat embossed images isn't recommended, but last year I made many Christmas cards doing so. I keep the marker nib away from the embossing as much as possible, and when I finish all the coloring, I replace the nibs on the markers since they get slightly sticky if not clogged a bit. Coloring just one or two ornaments, as for this tag, doesn't require that the nibs be replaced though.
Many thanks to Pretty Posh Pink for being a sponsor, and to Carol and all of the designers for all the beautiful inspirations.
Seventeen down, eight to go!
Today's sponsor is Pretty Pink Posh. There are so many beautiful inspiration tags on their blog today. I have a few PPP holiday stamp and die sets, and decided to use pretty Carol's ornament tags (here) as my inspiration.

It's so satisfying how well the ornaments match the bag! I really like the arrangement of the layers, too, with the holly behind the ornaments.
