Papertrey October 2015 Blog Hop

This month’s inspiration piece for the Papertrey Ink blog hop is just gorgeous, and although I am so not ready to think about Christmas, I really wanted to create something for the blog hop.

Right before we left for Chicago, I grabbed a little time and sat down to make a tag. It gave me the perfect opportunity to use the new Mini Market Kit:  Holiday Folk. From the inspiration piece, I used the tag, and the color combination—Pure Poppy and New Leaf.

I picked up a pack of these beautiful gold embossed tags in August at The Paper Source thinking they’d be great for the holidays. I stamped the tree and the sentiment embellishment from the Holiday Folk set, and the sentiment from the 2009 Holiday Tag collection. I colored the berries with a red gel pen and covered the stars with some glittery stars from my stash.

I also added some Clear Star Gelly Roll along the branches and outlined the sentiment embellishment and put a dot of gold in the tiny stars with a gold pen. It’s a bit easier to see here than in the first photo. You can check out other Christmasy creations right here on Nicole Heady’s blog.
