CTC #99 - Holiday Tags

Welcome to another week at CASEing the Catty, this week we are taking inspiration from the tags in the Holiday catalogue.  There is such a range of tags in this catty so there is much to be inspired by.

I chose the Tin of Tags which caught my eye when I first looked through the catalogue.  I purchased the stamp set for myself, and the kit for my daughter who also fell in love with it.

I wanted to see how I could re-create the tags using products not from the kit. As I was working on them I started to veer away from the original designs and am really happy with how they turned out.

Here is a closer look at the tags:
I used the circle stamp from Perfectly Wrapped for the border on the oval tag. I just love that with photopolymer stamps you can change the shape of stamps to meet your needs.

I used water colour paper for the tags and they gave the perfect  effect for the background, I did try whisper white but it didn't give the right look.

These final two tags made use of the lovely trio of bakers twine, I used it to make the tassels on the tags in this set.

I hope you are inspired to join us this week, I know I can't wait to get my presents bought and wrapped so I can pop these tags on them.  If you would like to join in this week, just add a picture to the link above.

Time to hop on over to Jackie's blog and see what she been inspired to create this week.

Happy Stamping
Monique
