Day 4 - 24 Days of Christmas Tag Challenge with Karen Telfer

It's Day 4 of the 24 Christmas Tag Challenge with Karen Telfer.  Today it's about stamping and die cutting.

I've used "Peeled Paint" Distress oxide Ink to shade the edges of the tag.  I die cut two circles, one slightly larger than the other.  

On the smaller one, I stamped the Lavinia Stamps  "Small Fairy Fir Tree" in first and second generation, to achieve the appearance of distance, stamped in Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink.  I then used a Stampin' up stamp set called "Holly Jolly Greetings" stamping the word "Joy" in black Versafine Clair "Nocturne" ink.  Adhering the small circle over the large one.

I glued some thin black ribbon, part way down the tag then adhered the discs over the top, to provide the impression of a Christmas bauble.

I used a Spellbinder's Die from their "Victorian Tassels" set to cut the green foliage, which I adhered in two directions.  Finally, adding a small black bow over the join.
