I'm back with the final (for now *wink*) creation from our dear friend Joy Taylor. The four weeks that Joy has been guest blogging with us has gone by so quickly but we've loved every minute of it and of course, her gorgeous cards! Joy, we will miss having your beautiful cards grace our blog every week, but we thank you so much for all the effort you've put into them and hope you come back to join us as guest blogger in the New Year. *HUGS* to you.
Today's effort from Joy is nothing short of astonishingly beautiful--here they are:
are you all as blown away as I was?!
Take your time to ogle them--they deserve it :)
Here's the how to:
- Take 6 or more tags, (you can buy either from your office supply store if you don't have the below die to cut your own.
- Ink over the top of the tags using Antique Linen.
- Once inked, take the Vintage Christmas stamps and stamp images over the tags using black ink.
- Next, using a different color distress ink for each tag, blend around the edges with the different colours, adding touches of Walnut Stain (to all of the tags) to give it a more vintage feel.
- Lastly, add twine and ribbon through the tops of the tags.
A very quick and fun way to produce tags to put on your Christmas presents or even add onto a card!
Here's what you'll need!

Sizzix Tim Holtz Tag and Bookplates Die and Copic Marker X-Press Blending Card (or Manila Shipping tags)
Ribbon
