Sketch Saturday No. 29

I still have so much left on my to do list and one thing I really need to get a move on with is making my gift tags. This is my first one of the year and I've used the sketch at Sketch Saturday to make it.

Here's the sketch:

Here's my tag:

I've used:

• A Forever Friends image coloured with water colour pencils
• Papermania 8x8 Christmas Blues paper
• Snowflake stickers
• Card from my stash

Better get back to it and hopefully tick a few more things off the to do list!

Thanks for looking

Kaboodle Doodles Challenge 7

The challenge over at Kaboodle Doodles this week is to make a tag.

I needed to make a tag for my Mother's birthday present. It's not her birthday until December so I wasn't going to do it yet but having seen the challenge I thought I may as well join in and get something else ticked off my to do list!

Here's the tag I've made:

I've included two images to make it easier to explain what I've done!. The tag is made by putting tiny slits in the backing paper and threading strips of acetate through these. I've then added butterflies to the ends of these and silk flowers on the base. The butterflies jiggle about with the slightest movement or breeze and look like they are flying!

Hope you like it!
