I'm the first stop on today's lineup. Let's start hopping!
I'm a huge fan of dies and Lia Griffith's Celebrate Tag won me over, big time.
card stock, I platinum embossed a sentiment in the center of each tag.
Both tags were ink distressed and I spattered some water on the pink tag.
I die cut two more tags, trimmed off the tag's hole, and layered them to the tag to form
a thick medallion. I adhered it to a square card and finished off with small gold sequins.
an ornament. I ink distressed with "cool colors" and added a cord and Hero Arts gemstones.
The ornament is adhered with temporary adhesive so the recipient can remove
it from the card and hang it on their tree, if they wish.
Remember you have a chance to win a $25 Hero Arts gift voucher or a bonus
prize just by leaving a comment on any of the blogs during this two day event.
