Another Tag Design

My hubby cut lots of tag shapes out of wood to use for my next stamping class. Then I did some experimenting to come up with a workable design for a class to do. I posted the class tag on the previous post.

This is a tag I'll use on a gift, it turned out exactly as I hoped and imagined.


 My tag is a winner at Hero Arts!!


For this tag, I stained both sides of the wood tag with Walnut Stain Distress Stain. I love the deep rich color! The sentiment was gold embossed directly onto the tag. Then the tree was stamped with Jenni Bowlin Seed Packet ink onto white cs and cut out. I distressed it with Vintage Photo. To embellish the tree I strung mini red buttons onto gold cording and attached them to the tree with glue dots. Tiny gold gems then finished the decoration. I added a gold cord so this can be used as a tree ornament after it serves as a gift tag.
I found the gold cord, red mini buttons and ribbon at Stamp Fever.
