Hello! Hope you’re enjoying your weekend.
Today I want to share a Chrsitmas tag made for Altenew day of Tracey McNeely’s 25 days of Christmas Tags event.

It’s already the third year I’m participating in this event as an Altenew DT member and it’s always so much fun to make these tags.
This year I decided to go with not very traditional holiday color scheme but rather neutral.
I started off with cutting a tag out of Parchment Cardstock. Next I white embossed several branches using Poinsettia and Pine stamp set and Pure White Embossing Powder. And I white embossed the sentiment from Pine Tree Stamp Set.
Then I stamped some more branches with Mocha Dye Ink.
Finally I added some white spray splatters and tied a white ribbon through the tag hole.
What is great about tags is that they’re small and take less time to make. And tags are something we always need 😉

Very pretty. I like the natural look.
Thank you!
This is so beautiful. Less is more!
Imagine the beauty if this is on a gift that is wrapped in craftpaper stamped the same way.
Thank you! That what my idea was – to use it with kraft wrapping.
What a beautiful tag!
Thanks!
I LOVE the classic yet rustic feel of this festive tag! The contrast of the white embossing with kraft cardstock and brown inks – LOVE it! Thank you for demonstrating how pretty neutrals can be all on their own.
I’m very glad you like it. Thank you!

Every year I make some cards with branches around the edges, but I’ve never used your color combo. Your tag is my favorite so far & I’ve pinned it to case! Thanks for the inspiration!
Very prett Svitlana. The white embossing add a nice touch to the earthly tones.
