Winter Landscape

Happy New Year to my Tag Tuesday friends! We are visiting family in the South, and I took no supplies with me.  It was just killing me to miss Tag Tuesday this week, so I went through my sister-in-law's Christmas cards and set to work. (Love that I found one with a piece of ribbon and the sentiment is so perfect for Christmas and the New Year!) I first cut a properly sized tag from one of the large cards. I fussy-cut the birds and the tree on the right from remnants of the card and added dimension with foam tape (hard to see in the picture). There is also a lot of sparkle from glitter, also hard to see.  The plaid strips were from part of another card. You can see the dried glue on the left where I detached the ribbon from the original card.
Wishing everyone blessings, joy, peace, and many more beautiful tags in the new year!
Laura

    Lovely tag, with extra points for recycling! You can't beat making tags from old Christmas cards, which I like to do too!
    Happy New Year!
