I decided to use a Prima Doll stamp and I made the tag from some of the packaging which comes with these stamps. I simply added some distress ink in various greens to get my background colour. I cut the doily using Cheery Lynn Spring Flower Burst Angel Wing from a silver metal sheet and embossed the doily. I cut the top of the tag using the angel wing and stuck down the doily. I also cut some 'snowflakes' from the same metal using Cheery Lynn BAF#1 dies.
I coloured my doll with Promarkers, but because I had stamped on glossy card the ink started to pool strangely. After going over it a few times and things starting to bleed I dotted the markers all over the coloured areas. I quite like the resulting texture, which you can see quite well on her bodice. The small red flowers are cut from red metal using the BAF#3 embellishment die from Cheery Lynn and I added a tiny green star shaped rhinestone to each one, and to the snowflakes. The sentiment is from Prima Warm Wishes set.
