Hello, sweet blog friends! I hope you're all having a great week, and that you've had time during this busy time of the year to do some crafting. Lucky me....I had a whole day to myself today, so I spent some of that time in my craft room.
I wanted to play along in a couple of challenges that I haven't had the time to enter in a while. I followed the tutorial on the Papertrey Ink Blog for Double-Layer Tags, and I had so much fun creating these sweet country tags to place on some of the packages I still need to wrap and tuck under the tree.
I cut my tags from kraft card stock and inked them, then I used older Simple Stories patterned papers and stickers to embellish and decorate them using the double-layer technique.
I used a Papertrey Ink stamp set called Love Lives Here Holiday Stamp Set, and it's been a favorite of mine for quite some time. I use it every year. The images were stamped with Barn Door Red, Peeled Paint, and Black Soot Tim Holtz Distress Inks.
