Yet another Santa creation . . . a tag!
~ Ü ~
I'm taking an offbeat slant to the sketch challenge at Crafty Ribbons to play the tag challenges at Make My Monday, Papercraft Star & Simon Says Stamp & Show. I'm also inspired by the vintage Santa at Inspired by #3. He's not as chubby, but I'm sure he can be just as jolly!

The tag is cut from kraft chipboard, which is then embossed and inked in DIs. The main image is distressed and inked, then adhered to a mat with a glittered edge. It is attached to a gold painted flourish, and foam-mounted onto the tag. The ticket is inked & distressed, and the top of the tag is finished off with ribbon and twine.
I love the look of ruffles at the base of the tag. I've used gold organza tied with red grosgrain, and finished with a snowflake & liquid pearls.

Hi Hilda. I really love your vintage tag! The Santa image really sets the tone. LOVE your Tim embossed background and how you've distressed it. Then the added snowflakes, bling, flourish and Merry Christmas ticket on top is wonderful! I also really love your ruffled and ribboned bottom to the tag. It's beautiful!
