Christmas Tag

 This is a tag I made for the challenge at Scrapyland.  It actually came together easily because most of the parts were in my scrap box.  The doves were illustrated by Marcella Hawley for Flourishes.   I stamped and  colored them last year but did not use them.  The flower was made last year too,and I had some left over wheat from another project. I cut and embossed the tag sponged it and then added my layers.  I did need to cut the holly leaves and the pine bough.

The poinsettia is a spellbinders die.
The holly  is Cheery Lynn
The pine bough and wheat are IO

I will enter the tag at Scrapyland's Here

    Egads that's GORGEOUS! I love all of your die cut accents, and the beautiful colored images, Marcella has the most wonderful illustrations!! I also would like to say that this is a GIFT and doesn't need to top one! Right?!?! Gorgeous my dear! (oh and just yesterday I was rifling through a lovely fat envelope of die cuts you sent me, I recognize those wheat accents) ;)

    I immediately felt the Sam as Donna. This is a GIFT as well as a tag. Love all of the die elements that enhance the beautifully colored birds by Marcella. No one else does it as good as she does. On top of all of this, you used cuts from your scrap box. I love that too. This is seriously gorgeous.
    Just a note. My SIL is here for a visit. She wanted to see my cards, but the first one I showed her was your birthday card. It is still front and center on my desk.

    That is so gorgeous. I love everything about it. And, I would never thought of using wheat on a Christmas design but my friend it looks wonderful that way. Those doves are super great too! And, I always am in love with flowers.
