Love Lives Here: Holiday Revisited

Hey everyone! Thanks for joining me today for the November Papertrey Ink Senior DT Challenge. This time around we are bringing back Love Lives Here: Holiday! The Love Lives Here collection is not one I would gravitate towards instinctively, but boy what treasures these sets truly are. The holiday version features versatile rustic and simple images that allow for a ton of options. That alone makes this set a breeze to work with, and it versatility takes it right up my alley. I love a set with a lot of potential and this ones got exactly that! Here's a card and tag I've created just for today. I hope you enjoy them.

Take a look...

Each piece is unique. Yet with the use of the same branch image they both would work well together as an ensemble for a gift.

Lets take a closer look at the tag. The base was created by piecing the bottom portion of a Tag Sale #5 kraft colored die cut onto a white one.

Next, branches were stamped (top and bottom edges) in spring moss. A few pure poppy ornaments were placed and hung with hand drawn string. Then a few ocean tide berries were scattered among the branches. Here's a Tip: To hide the edge of the conjoined tags, I covered it with a sentiment. This is a trick I use a lot, it's a great way to hide imperfections and it also allows me to easily incorporate a larger/longer sentiment that would not otherwise fit the width of my tag.

The card features the Love Lives Here: Holiday angel image. Plus, the use of the same branch image used on the tag above. This time the branches were stamped in ocean tides with gold heart berries.
