Tis The Season Card and Tag

Today I'm working with "The Gift of Giving" collection from Couture Creations. I love the warm tones in the papers and the beautiful festive art work.

For this card and tag set I've used one of the 12 x 12 paper sheets, using a 6x6 portion from the top left corner as the background for my card and a section from the bottom right corner to create the tag. I've matted the paper onto some dark brown card.

To add dimension to the poinsettia on the card, I've used one of the poinsettias from the ephemera pack - I've trimmed away the leaves and then partly cut some of the petals so that they can be lifted.

I've added a die cut stag and corner detail using dies from the collection.

The holly sprig is from the ephemera set.

The die cut sentiment is another die from the collection.

For the tag I've used both the Straight Tag and Distressed Tag die sets from the Steampunk Dreams Collection. The Straight Tags can be used as mats layers for the Distressed Tags.
