25 Days of Christmas Tags CASE

My blog feed is exploding with Christmas tag inspiration, thanks to Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags hop.  Usually the days around here are so full that I just get to look in awe.  Today, however, I got to play!  Here's my tag:


 It was inspired by designer Flora Monika Farkas on day 5.  I loved the look of her plaid on both the tag and the ribbon.  She also stamped her Christmas tree directly on her tag so I was challenged to stamp directly on the tag too.  The berry clusters in the front, however, were stamped separately and pieced.
Supplies:
Stamps:  PTI Spruce and Sprigs, PTI Christmas Cheer
Dies:  PTI Christmas Cheer, Poppy Stamps Stitched Main Street Tags, MFT Tag Builder Blueprint 4
Ink:  PTI Pure Poppy, Scarlet Jewel, Ripe Avocado, Simply Chartreuse, Prairie Grass
Paper:  Southfield Tartan Craft Papers
Other:  SSS Fine Detail Embossing Powder, Distress Marker Gathered Twigs, ribbon snippets of unknown origin
 
I hope you have the chance to join in on the fun over at Tracey's blog.  It's day 14, so there's still time!  I'm hoping to give it another go!

 

Thanks for coming over to visit!  I hope you are having a wonderful day!

    Kara Lynne, this is stunning! What an incredible tag! LOVE the plaid and the holly and berries, and...well, I just love your whole tag. It's a real standout in the gallery. I hope you do get the chance to play along again so we can all see what you've got up your sleeve for the next tag. Absolutely fabulous! Bev

    The plaid, the holly-and-berries, the pine needles...an absolutely gorgeous combination! Your tag is a gift in and of itself! Thank you so much for sharing this gem in Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags gallery!

    Kara your tag jumped out at me on the linky so I had to come over for a closer look. Boy am I glad I did because this is stunning! I love the plaid and all those festive berries. And, am I right in thinking that you have double sided red and green ribbon all in one??
