Card and Tag

Hello and good morning...

Well, hubby is home and happy to be back except for the weather of course, which has been quite icy.
I enjoyed my 'me' time and doodle around with paint to make a few Christmas cards
Here's one of them with a matching tag


The little die cut is a new one from a place here in the UK called The Works...
We don't have much in the way of craft shops but lately this store has been adding a few stamps and dies to their range of books and art supplies and they are really inexpensive, so to my British friends- Check them out!


I'm not really a tag maker but I hate to waste any of the painted pieces and this little scrap made a really sweet tag 



 I thought I'd enter it at
Where Diane Jaquay is the featured artist - This is her lovely tag


I hope you have a lovely Saturday ...

What a beautiful Christmas card and matching tag, to boot! I would have never thought of that combo...and it's a great one! :)

I'd love to watch you paint sometime. You have such an interesting style with all the streaks and splotches and splatters. I absolutely love it. Always beautiful colors with the clean white and fabulous die cuts. I'm a fan!

I'm totally in awe, once again! I adore both of these projects, Ros--gorgeous colors & design--love that branch! Glad hubby is home safe & sound. We have a bit of everything today, including sun which lets Fritz get in some baths on the deck.
