Since the challenge is tags, I started with a couple of large manilla tags I’ve had in my stash for a loooooong time. I’m surprised I was even able to find them! After locating my craft sheet, I made a bunch of tags using Distress inks & a mister by smooshing some red & pink inks for the red tag, and different green inks for the green tag, then spritzing them w/ water & pressing the tag to the inked craft sheet. Each shade of color was done separately & I used a heat gun to dry them in between colors. As an extra something, I smooshed a Brilliance galaxy gold ink pad to the sheet then pressed the tags onto it.
The red tag was also stamped with the And the Angel Said multiple times using barn door ink before the die cut gold angel & Joy were attached on top.
For the green tag, I placed the tag into my Misti, stamped the Pine Swag w/ Memento then used a white chalk marker on the wood & some Copics on the pine branches. I over stamped it w/ Versafine then stamped the ribbon part onto another red tag and the pine cones onto a gold tag & fussy cut them. After the Merry was added, I used a glitter gold gel pen to outline it and around the wood rectangle. A gold Krylon pen was used to edge both tags & I also added some sequins & twine to both.
