For my first project I decided to start simple; I made a chipboard gift tag. I used Urban Decay, one of our newest Smeared Ink sets, and one of my new faves I think! I adore this set!

I stamped my open sign using olive ink and then added distress ink in vintage lace and some bright red stazon. It is mounted on shiny red paper (you can't tell really well in the pic, but it is reflective), and then popped onto my harlequin embossed background.
I wrapped the tag with silver tape and then aged it, and then added my lock with reflective paper behind it, my ribbons, and my red disk and key. The tag is simple, but very pretty in real life. The picture doesn't do it justice because it really is super shiny!
I hope you like it, and I can't wait to share these 12 days with you. Now hop on over to the other Jolly Bloggers, and enjoy!
