Happy Tuesday every.. here is what I came up with for today's colour challenge.
Ver Vanilla, Black and Suede....
I made this cute little gingerbread Tag... on the lower half of the argyle dp, I layed some drywall mesh over top and sponged on Sepia ink. Sponged edges, matted with kraft, sponged edges with sepia (closest I have to suede#. Matted with black. Added the strip around the middle #Martha Stewart dp). Stamped gingerbread men with sepia ink onto kraft card stock. Cut out, sponged edges with black. Attached to tag with red and black mini brads. Sewed edges of tag. Punched holes in upper corner, attached eyelets and tied on faux leather. Added Diamond stickles to red brads. I finished the back of the tag. Placed a piece of very vanilla on back, put the mesh over top and sponged on sepia ink. Stamped two more gingerbread men and placed the on the bottom section. Stamped "to and from"...

Well, aren't you the clever one! First there's that sewing thing (that I can't do)! Always impressed! That background you created is fabulous! Wonderful Christmas tag, Patricia! Love it on your Christmas tree, also!
