For my tin I used a Jones Soda candy tin which is wrapped in white card stock. I sponged brocade blue and perfect plum ink (SU!) and the stamped the snowflakes (Hero Arts LP209) with versamark and embossed in white. Tied some twine around the top. The lid has a piece of ard stock cut to fit and sponged the same way. Stamped the sentiment (Hero Arts LP209) in brocade blue. The tin was painted on exposed parts to blend in. I computer generated the "to/from" and made my own tags. This time I embossed with clear and then sponged ink on. Then I tied some twine on the tags. This would make a cute gift for someone.
***UPDATE*** I'm going to link this up at Moxie Fab World and their Holiday Gift Tag challenge. It's a challenge to celebrate the new Holiday Cards and More magazine by PaperCrafts. :-)
Anyway, just a reminder the giveaway is going on until the end of the month! Have a great day!
