Enjoy The Season Tag Tin

Doing a quick post so I can link up in time for Festive Fridays Trigger challenge.  The trigger word is snow.  I missed out playing along with the last challenge so really wanted to participate this time.  Also, want to link up with The Paper Players current challenge, Christmas in July.  Seems to be a trend right now for challenges this Christmas in July.  I don't mind at all!  :-). Also, going to link this up to Jingle Belles current challenge, a card stock christmas.  Can't use any patterned paper.  Thats right, no patterned paper was harmed in the making of this project.  LOL!  Anyway, here it is...



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!
