I had just finished these when I looked to see what today's WT challenge was. Don't you love it when what you're working on fits the day's challenge?
Both tags were traced from stencils and cut out. I stamped snowflakes w/ the pink chalk ink across both then added a large filigree snowflake in red to the lg tag. I stamped strips of the teal and olive using the stripe (plaid maker) stamp. Did the same for the heel & toe. For the cuff, I misted the white c/s, then rubbed it to make it peel and fluff up. When it looked scruffy enough, I took a paper towel, dipped it in white acrylic paint and dabbed over it.
The present was cut out in the two colors and embossed. I made a candy stripe strip using the same stripe stamp and green & red markers and cut thin strips for ribbon. A die cut button was added.The little mouse and kitty were colored w/ makers, cut out and attached. A folded nestie label and an eyelet were added to the lg tag. A small sentiment tag was punched and added to the stocking tag.
Thanks so much for looking! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.

I believe a lot of work went into these wonderful tags. Love your plaid strips and fluffy cuff. And, the ribbon strips on the other tag are just wonderful. Beautiful and creative!
