Forever Friends Christmas tag card

The other day I posted about buying Christmas tags that have been reduced, right after the 'big event'. As well as buying the Christmas pudding tags, I also got some cute Forever Friends tags - and using the lovely new Nellie's Multi Frame Doily die, sent to me by Dee - I made this (three in fact and I still have another seven tags left to play with):

Fortunately the image wasn't disturbed by the hole and cord at the top of the tag so I just trimmed round the top of the teddy's hat :) That's another thing to look out for - if the image does have a hole in it, can you disguise it or not?

I used:

- 6" x 6" cream card stock

- deep turquoise backing card from Hobbycraft

- backing paper from a paper pack which came free with Quick Cards Made Easy, called 'Cosy Christmas Selection'

- the doily was also cut from a different sheet in the pack - it reminds me of those patterned doilies you can get at Christmas time to put on plates underneath sausage rolls and mince pies :)

- the red foiled sentiment was from my stash. These were not well die cut round the edges so I trimmed the red borders off and mounted them onto snippets of the turquoise card

- turquoise card candi

My in-house critic agreed with me that adding some glitter to the teddy's hat would detract from the very matt effect of the papers - and the sentiment is already foiled anyhow. Another three all done for the box!
