Holiday Tags.....{MCT Designers Challenge}

Hi everyone!!!
I just wanted to pop in with a quick weekend post to share some Christmas tags I made for tag swap I am doing. I was pretty excited to see that My Creative Time's Designer Challenge was for Holiday Tags so I get to enter these over there as well. I ended up making 12 of these and LOVE the way they turned out!
I sure hope you do as well!

What do you think??? I love the chalkboard technique and if you have not tried it yet you really need to give it a go. It is fun and easy and gives a different kind of something to your projects!! 

I used the Just Tags dies and white and chalkboard paper for the tag bases. Then using the Just for You stamp set I embossed the sentiment onto the tag.  For the chalkboard look I took some Frost White pigment ink, a makeup sponge and began my technique.  I inked the edges and lightly brushed the ink over the embossed sentiment. Using a clean edge of the makeup sponge, I wiped the extra ink off the tag and the embossed image and smeared the ink further to give some lighter and darker area.

To finish up my tags, I added some stickles to look like the Christmas ornaments on the tree, green buttons from my stash, some red May Arts ribbon from Sparkly Sweet Craft Notions and bows using Totally White Trendy Twine.

Here is one set of the 12 I made. I just love the way they turned out and hope the the girls who get these love them as well!!

That is all I have to share with you today.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a GREAT rest of your weekend!!!
