I decided to go with cool colours for a change instead of the traditional red and green and opted for blue and grey. I used some cute images and embossed my background and I think it turned out adorable. I hope you like it too.
Here is my card:
A closer look at the images:
Plus I decorated the back of the tag:
I began by die cutting my tag from light blue card and embossed it with a snowflake embossing folder. I took a white pigment ink cube and lightly rubbed it over the raised areas of the embossing to give a subtle white design on the blue. I stamped the images onto alcohol marker friendly card and coloured them with Promarkers, also adding some white gelly roll pen highlights. I don't have the dies so I fussy cut the images. I die cut two 'hills' from white card and stamped the sentiment onto white card using a blue ink pad. I added the hills to the bottom of the tag with double sided tape and the tree, bunny and sentiments were added with foam squares. I also added a white hole reinforcer with liquid glue. For the back of the tag I cut another tag from blue card, partially embossed the snowflake design on the bottom and stamped the sentiments using the same blue ink pad. I also added a white hole reinforcer with liquid glue. I adhered both the tags together using liquid glue. I threaded some blue & white ribbon through the hole and added some white twine, which I tied into a bow.

What a wonderful Christmas card. I like the colour scheme you used, and the background full of snowflakes. The thought of a snowy landscape is very pleasant in the current heat. Bunny and Christmas tree are beautifully coloured, and the make for a lovely motif. If you ask me, a gift tag like this doesn't need a gift attatched at all, because it's a great present on its own. Thanks for joning the Alphabet challenge.
