TIm Tag 2011 - Day 1

YEAH!!!! The day is here! I love this time of the year - Tim is doing his 12 Tags of Christmas. The Day 1 tag is elegant!

I have sworn NOT to buy ANY SUPPLIES! But to use what I have. I don't want to replicate Tim's tag but use it as inspiration.

So here's what I did have - the tag Die and the pine cone die; and the pearls. Everything else is a substitute. I used grungeboard precut letters and some green glitter (an off brand I got at the Expo). I used Amuse Studio paper because it has that nice white core that shows thru when you sand it. And I had some coffee-dyed ribbon a friend sent me for my birthday a few years ago. I had bought some great "vintage" embossing powder that was white and gold mixed...I love the flecks of gold!

So! Day 1 is complete. Can't wait for Day 2!
