Tagged Evergreen - Stampin' up! Peaceful Evergreens

   A recently closed challenge at the Paper Players wanted us to make a clean and simple (CAS) card with a tag as part of the design.  I don't think I quite nailed the CAS part as the more that I look at it it seems a bit busy.  Maybe the dark background or the embossed pattern?  Regardless of it it's clean and simple it's a nice quick design for a Christmas card.  You can easily re-create this one yourself with whatever pine tree/evergreen tree stamp set you have and make the tag out of any specialty or designer series paper.

  The background is a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock embossed with the Forever Plaid embossing folder.  Using an old tag punch I punched a piece of retired Gold Fine Shimmer Paper, added a bit of retired ribbon and popped it on dimensionals on the card front.

  The tree is the largest tree from the Peaceful Evergreens stamp set. I stamped it in Shaded Spruce ink onto Shaded Spruce cardstock.  After it was die cut I sponged some gold ink on the edges of the tree then popped it on dimensionals over the edge of the tag.

  The sentiment is from the Peaceful Season stamp set and is stamped in Cherry Cobbler on a narrow strip of Very Vanilla.  

  I knew I had a few little Cherry Cobbler enamel embellishments left over from a past Paper Pumpkin kit so I dug those out and added 3 of them on the tag under the sentiment.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
