Cheers to You! or use a sentiment for Let's Craft and Create Challenge #215 on the 5th of January 2025

 

For this month's challenge at Let's Craft and Create Challenge Blog, we have the optional theme of

Cheers To You! - (Use a sentiment)

I have been busy making apricot jam, apricot chutney, cherry jam and cherry chutney! So I made a very simple tag using an image from my stash.

So, here is my tag:

I had previously digitally printed the holly from Hollyberries Digital Stamp and the sentiments from Glittering Glass Santa Digital Stamp on to XPress It Blending card and then cut out the images with my Silhouette Cameo (wow that was a long time ago!). Both of these stamps are from Power Poppy. I have then coloured with the following Copics pens:

• green - YG61, YG63, YG67, G99
• red - R27, R59, R89
• background - BG01
• sentiment - R59, R89, B0000

As usual, I have taken inspiration from the wonderful Alyce at Kit and Clowder and her fantastic monthly classes and bonus classes.

I then die cut the largest Large Stitched Tags Die from La-La Land Crafts in Kraft chipboard, then I have die cut the sentiment with the Rounded Stitched Rectangles Die also from La-La Land Crafts on the top and then the Large Stitched Tags Die on the bottom. I adhered everything to the tag with double-sided tape and then finished it off with some Baker's twine from my stash.

I forgot to take a photo of the image after I coloured it, so here is another photo of the finished tag:
