It's Word Week over at Just Us Girls and Nancy chose an appropriate one for this time of year...Christmas Tree.
An easy one, but the tough thing was which Christmas tree do I use from my stamp and die collection? THAT was a tough one! I settled on this tree die from Paper Smooches. I die cut it from white glitter paper. I also wanted to make a tag to play along in the Tag You're It challenge. I used a piece of Distress Specialty Stamping paper and sponged Twisted Citron and Peacock Feathers on it. Then I spritzed it with water. I love how it looks like snow falling or even lights glimmering. I stitched the parts of the tag together with twine and added the sentiment. I tied it off with satin ribbon and more twine.
Here's the link to the Tag You're It challenge.

This is so cute and the perfect way to give a gift card! I love the blending of the colors on the background and the way you threaded the stitched edges.
Your tag is so sweet Lisa. Love the design ... perfect little package to include a gift card. The twine stitching is so adorable! Thanks for CASEing my tag at Tag You're It!
What an adorable tag. I adore that tree die, so unique. And I'm with you, I love how distress ink responds to water splatter. Always a fun look, never the same thing twice.
One of the tags that I've looked at and not bought! Many thanks for joining us at Tag You're It Challenge.
This is such a gorgeous tag! I love the aqua and lime blend, and what a great pocket for a gift card! Thanks for joining in on the fun over at Tag, You're It!
