Today I'm joined by my friend, and fellow team mate at HLS, Hazel (My Card Attic).  Hazel is so talented.  I'm always in awe of her gorgeous cards and tags ... her designs speak to me. :)  Drop by Hazel's blog to find out the full details on how she made the beautiful tag below.

LOVE the soft colours and bokeh design of your background, Hazel.  And I love all the special touches you've added with the glitter snowflakes, stenciled stars, and black accents --- GORGEOUS!  Thank you! xx

I'm also joined today by Susan (Cardmaker's Garret).  Susan is a CAS girl at heart, but is experimenting more and more with mixed media.  We live fairly close, so we get together to exchange ideas, share products that we've bought and what we've learned using them, and we demonstrate favourite techniques.  It's been a lot of fun and I have learned a lot from Susan.  Check out her blog to get all the details on how she made her beautiful tag below.

LOVE your design Susan ... and love all the sparkle and shine from the gold.
So pretty!!  Thank you! xx

  13. I always think the same thing each day, Lolly - and may have said it in my comments - and that's, "Mmmmm!" That's how I react to such amazing texture and dimension. Neither comes easily to me so I'm all about oohs and aahs when I see it done brilliantly like you and your GDs have done today!! Hugs, Dolly
