Mini Red Santa Tags

Hi everyone! :o)

Today I want to share with you two Mini Red Santa Tags I made last week.

Images are paper pieced. I used 4 stamped images for each Santa, 3 stamped on a watercolor paper and one on a designer paper from the kit. I colored Santa's face with colored pencils and shaded his beard with light gray colored pencil. I used dry paper stump to blend colors in to paper. I colored his boots with black permanent pen. After coloring and shading, I fussy cut parts I needed, colored edges with black Stabilo pen, softened all pieces with a stylus ball on a soft working mat, glued all pieces together and added final touches with a white pen.

Then I cut circles from a Kraft cardstock paper, punched holes in them, glued piece of white cardstock paper on the bottom, heat embossed sentiments, drew snowflakes whit the white pen, glued 3-D foam pads behind each Santa and placed them on tags. At the end I tied ribbons on tags and they were finished. :o)

Each tag measures  d = 63 mm (2 1/2").
