First tag for the 12 tags of Christmas

Hello Lovelies! How are you on this fine morning? I hope you are well and if not sending you hugs and positivity. I have my first tag to share with you for the thefunkiejunkie-12-tags-of-christmas challenge which is sponsored by the thefunkiejunkie boutique. I was inspired by the poinsettias and have enjoyed using my large poinsettia die to make this.


I used the alcohol ink and metallic mixative method from tims tag last month to make the background of the tag - only I did it straight onto the tag - that was a mistake - but I did make it better by gluing a second tag to the back.


Its a size 10 tag - I cut several of the poinsettia in different shades of red card. Then i stamped on them using a TH sentiment die. I assembled them onto the tag and also cut the words - joyful memories also using dies from Tim Holtz.


The December 25 at the bottom is also from TH - from a ephemera set. 
I would also like to enter this into the craftstamper take-it-make-it-challenge-october.


Our trip to IKEA was good fun yesterday - 


we managed to pick up the missing mattress and got another cupboard to add to the room - and a rug and a desk lamp, and a toy thing - oh my!!! But it was fun! We all had a good day!!!

Big hugs

Rachel x

    Ikea seems to be like that Rachel, you go for one thing and get drawn in on the journey round. We don' have one close so have to make the most of it when we go.

    Loving the richness of your gorgeous tag.
