Simon Says TAG IT!

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

This week the challenge is ,,,,,,,,

TAG IT

Rather than make a tag I made a card and trimmed off the corners to make it LOOK like a tag. I punched a hole at the top and threaded through some twine (tip: cut a small slit in the fold of the card and thread the twine through it before tying at the fold – means you can still open it!!).

I used the Holiday Knit stencil and a few shades of blue Copic marker in the Spritzer tool to lay down the pattern on my card. I then went over it with a sponge blender and white pigment ink. I die cut the new Clearly Besotted Merry Christmas dies and Snowflake die three times from white cardstock and glue them together before adhering to the card front. I finished it all off with a few clear sequins.

Hop you manage to grab some time to play along this week.
