    Wow, your tag and Nancy's tag are so elegant and beautiful Loll! Love that poinsettia on your tag with the dry embossing and the black sentiment strips just makes it all pop. Nancy's tag is stunning as well. Love the gold shimmer in the background and that little pop of blue-makes for one beautiful background. The ornament and "25" are perfect on this Christmas tag and I just love the swirls. Makes me think of the "magic of Christmas". Just beautiful you two!!! Now I'm off to see everyone's tags they linked up. Hugs, Brenda

      Thanks Nancy. The background is actually done with embossing paste through a stencil by Tim Holtz (poinsettia layering stencil). xx

      Thanks Loll. I reread your description and your supply list and saw how you used your eb paste. Love the effect. Which stamp did you use for your poinsettia? I thought you used a die cut also, but saw you fussy cut your flower. You are an expert at fussy cutting my friend. TFS Hugs

    Loll, I have to agree with a previous comment that this is so well done, that poinsettia looks like it was done on vellum! The softness of the color on the tips of the petals is just beautiful and LOVE that background. Your presentation is equally classy! This is another one of my favorites and thanks for doing this for one more year! We all had fun!

    Beautiful tags! Love that gorgeous poinsettia! Beautiful ornament tag by Nancy too. Thanks for a fabulous challenge! I'm inspired.... I have had no camera (no smart phone either!) so did not make any tags to add to your challenge, but thoroughly enjoyed checking in on all the creations!

    Thank you for making this such a great challenge Loll and it has been a pleasure to look and comment on each of the days, and today's is the ultimate beauty! I adore the texture paste background and the fabulous stamped and embossed poinsettia which at first sight looks as though it was stamped on vellum or acrylic and not card, and I love the pretty white spattering and the great contrast with the platinum embossing and the black sentiment strip too. Linda's gelli print background is so interesting and what a delightful gold bauble, and the number '25' and the sweet flourishes with the little nail heads are great finishing touches. x

    The embossing and coloring on the poinsettia leaves is lovely. I really did think that it had been stamped on vellum. The fussy cutting is very good. Lots of patience there. Love the paste embossing. The tag is wonderful. Thank you for the challenge and for challenging us and a big thank you to your guest designers, too. [Bunny]

    Wow, what a gorgeous poinsettia, Loll! It's sooo beautiful and perfect for the last day of your tag event! The watercolored poinsettia outlined with the liquid platinum embossing powder looks stunning against the stenciled background with white embossing paste! The black strip with heat-embossed sentiment and the red ribbon are festive and elegant.
    Congratulations on a huge success of the event this year too! I just wanted to pop in before the day is over. I'll join you very soon! Hugs.. Hideko

    Fantastic finale to a wonderful event, Loll! That poinsettia tag is simply stunning! Wow! Your friend's tag is equally beautiful in its own way. Such pretty colors in both and both evoke a love for the season. Thanks so much for all the hard work that went into putting this event together! And for all the eye candy. You are a blessing!

    I have loved all your tags, Loll - but this one might be my favorite too - love the delicacy of the poinsettia and the black strip with sentiment creates such a great contrast. Still hoping to enter, but we'll see.....

    I can see why this one is your favourite! It is such a perfect composition with the embossing paste poinsettia background and the beautifully watercoloured fussy cut one on top. The splattering of white is a great finishing touch. I'm sad that this is Day 12 as I've really enjoyed seeing everything - yours and the wonderful contributions from the Guest Designers. So glad you did the Tag Event again!
