I was able to use up a few scraps I had been saving for this next card. The scraps were the "negative" portion of some snowflake cuts I made way back in July (yes, I kept them since July....LOL). The cuts were created from Graphically Speaking cartridge, although I don't recall at what size. I placed two "negative" together to offer support since they were cut on think dp. I added some Recollections foam squares to the corners. Then I stamped the snowflake journal stamp behind the snowflake cut using a Scrappy Cat Wood Block stamp and some Studio G deep blue ink. I used the sentiment, by Meljen's Designs, and then cut it out in the shape of a tag. I used a tag cut from Classic Font cartridge as a template. I inked the edges of the tag and added some color to the lettering using my Whisper Strokes watercolor markers. I decided I wanted a little more sparkle and added some Studio G sparkle glue and aqua colored bling. The button and ribbon with fibers are from my stash.
