Against Holiday Stress

Hi there,

I created this tag duo using the adorable Gerda Steiner Designs Namasleigh stamp set:

• stamp the reindeer and the snowman from the Gerda Steiner Designs Namasleigh set with Lawn Fawn Jet Black
• color the images with Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers 
• cut two Clearly Besotted Stamps Rounded Tags from smooth white cardstock and create a background with Distress Ink (Tumbled Glass, Spun Sugar, Scattered Straw), the My Favorite Things Micro Cloud Edges stencil and Blending Brushes
• cut out the Clearly Besotted On the Line tress and add color with Alcohol Markers as well
• stamp the sentiment from the Create a Smile Stamps Kleine Weihnachtsgrüße set with Versafine Clair Nocturne 
• thread twine through the holes of the tags

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,
