Artfully yours, Gerri  

To make these tags I used a plain manila tag or cut them out of patterned paper. Layered papers and netting for dimension. Added paper trim details, shiny German scrap, greenery , snowflakes and stickers. The pretty female images are from  holly  and ivy collage sheet by Gecko galz on Etsy. The sentiments and the ribbons to tie the tags, along with Stickles for sparkle  came last.
