A tag for Less is More

 What a lovely sunny day ... need to get the washing out on the line in a mo!!  I have been getting dirty fingers this morning, playing at making my own papers using inks.

 I made this tag to go on my Mum's birthday present.  I used 3 shads of green ink and brayer and rubbed the ink on, starting from the lightest shade.  The fairy is from Lavinia, and the net lace and ribbon is from my stash.
It fits these challenges -
Less is More - sketch
Creative inspirations - Mum
Allsorts - For a Special Lady
One Stop Crafts - Angels and fairies

And a quick Christmas card ...
 I used blue, eggplant and cool peri inks to distress the cardstock, having taped the snowflake template down.  I cut a snowflake out and covered it in glamour dust.  Finally I spritzed the paper with glimmer mist and added some glitter.  I used my GoKreate dies to create the shaped card.
