stained and finished the  pieces with glossy accent 
and layered them between some paper diecut tags . 
I adore the versatility of the chipboard .
and by trimming the pieces it creates interest
 and allows them to go further .

Red and white with a splash of grey

Hi everybody and welcome to my blog 
Recently my niece moved into a Brand new home for herself and her daughter . Baden and I gave them a gift  and    I created this tag in an envelope to go with the gift .
NEW HOME 

 we gave Fi and Alanna a Red kettle 

which inspired me to create this tag in red, white and a splash of grey. 

 the tag (which lives inside the envelope )

is where I write my message .

the chipboard is from Dusty Attic  little house and the arrow . simply painted with white gesso, sanded and finished with glossy accents .
 thanks so much for looking at my work and leaving me some loving words .
happy scrapping to each of you  and big hugz until next time xoxo
