i created this tag for another present in a bag. i combined the colour scheme, sketch and snowflakes challenges for this one and i think it has worked well. i inked the tag using the green distress, then stamped some subtle twinkles in the same colour to add interest to the background. i cut the snowflakes borders and coloured them red to pop against the green. the band was coloured pink (it is pink honest ... i know its not obvious in the picture!!) and stamped with the sentiment. i added extra detail with mini punched snowflakes to tie the pink in further. i sparkled these and the edges of the red snowflakes for that essential finishing touch for christmas.
