My Mojo still seems to be on his summer holidays and I've been struggling to come up with a design for the latest theme on the Tag-along and ATC Challenge. Straightforward theme really **Circles** with the usual *Anything Goes option*. However, yesterday I spotted a video on Louise Dunne's You Tube Channel where she was making some shaker baubles using a set of dies which of course were circular. Well, I don't have the dies and not much inclination, or items to produce shakers, so I decided to have a go at making a bauble-shaped tag for Christmas. I used two different sizes of circle dies to make the frame and a really small circle die to cut the top part. The Cropodile came in handy for making a hole in the tiny circle. A plain circle was cut for the backing and I found a Snippet of seasonal paper to glue in place as a background. A couple of small poinsettia dies came out of hiding and these were cut from scraps of inky background and then treated with Wink of Stella. A small 'Noel' word was also cut from the same snippet. Finally a bit of red ribbon , some glitter on the background trees and that's it - job done - my entry for the circles theme at Tag-along. It certainly took me a while to get going this time 🙄
Circles - Noble Pierced Circles Creative Expressions
Poinsettias - Marianne dies probably 15-20 years old
Noel - die from a magazine cover gift set a few years ago
It's a lovely shape for a tag Val, looks very elegant with the white frame and pretty Poinsettias, many thanks for joining us at Tag-Along (and ATC's) challenge.

Well done on thinking of this tag idea. It's so lovely and one I might CASE in the future. Thanks also for sharing with us at Tag-Along (and ATC's) challenge.
ReplyDeleteLove the shape of this festive tag, which does indeed resemble a bauble - so, good job! At least you managed to craft over the weekend - which is more than I managed! LOL! xxx
