I took a large Tando greyboard tag, and spritzed it with a variety of green, blue and purple Decoart Media sprays, adding a touch of white to tone down the colours slightly. I added a sentiment from the Christmas Sparkle stamp set, and a flourish from the Butterfly Dreams stamp set, using Versamark and silver embossing powder. I stamped an image from the Pears and Baubles stamp set onto a spare piece of coloured card, which I found in my scrap box. (I had previously coloured the piece of card with Brushos, using the same range of colours). I used the same colour embossing powder as before. I attached the image to the tag using 3D foam pads for added dimension.
Finally, I added some pale green gilding wax to the edges of the tag, and attached some toning ribbon through the hole at the top.
As a tip, I added some coloured paper to the reverse of my tag as well, because I did get a small amount of ink on the back. This means that it looks much nicer, and will enable me to write a message if I want to. I used a piece of gelli printed paper from my scrap box.

It's the way you use your ribbons that catches my eye in this - the silver threads just pick up the silver embossing powder beautifully & I love the bluish yellowish tones which the ribbon echoes so well in the tag. Your tip for covering the back is so handy & really finishes a tag off professionally. Isn't it lovely how the non Christmas CB stamp sets compliment the Christmas themed ones?
Fabulous pears, it looks so sweet and LOVE the decorations inside it! Amazing tag, there is a lot of work on it!
Thanks for the tip!
I love your tag Judith, beautifully coloured and designed, love that pear, Kate x
