Father Christmas tag

I thought I would blog the tag I made on Tuesday night.   I mised the tag with a bit of water and then swiped it through barn door and peeled paint distress stains.  Having dried it I swiped the tag through the stains again and then spritzed it with gold glimmer mist - the pic doesn't really show the sparkle and sheen on the tag.  The seam binding got the same treatment.  I stamped round the edges using a pine cone stamp from a TH Christmas set, and then stamped the TH collage stamp and sentiment.  Finally I made up the holly branch and pine cones using kraft coredinations cardstock, and sanding it up a bit.  I added some stickles to the branch, berries and cones.

Here's a pic of the tag before I decorated it - sparkly!!
