I really loved Linda's use of the burlap squares running along the side of the tag and that was my inspiration for this version. I started with a size 10 tag and used Distress Stain in Bundled Sage and Forest Moss for the background. I then cut a piece of holiday scrapbook kraft paper to go over the tag. I found a coil of paper ribbon that I've had for ages and put that down along the right edge. The burlap squares went over that. The letters are corrugated foil letters that I had left over from a Santa tag banner I made last year. They didn't photograph well because the are so shiny but they really are a fun bright holiday red. I used the TH tattered poinsettia die and the corresponding embossing folder to cut and emboss the poinsettias. The foliage and pinecone come from the holiday foliage die. I used an Authentique sticker for the message.
This was a fun tag to create. I knew immediately that I was going to use Linda's idea of the burlap squares. I really love the homespun look of this. Here are some details.
So, that's tag number 4! Check out Linda's gorgeous creations on her blog and be sure to stop by her shop which is the sponsor of this great challenge!

The burlap and the corrugated foil got me really excited for this tag~they look great together!
