Art deco always reminds me of sky scrapers and clean lines so no fussing this up with ribbons and bows! I decided to gold emboss that gorgeous background (so temping to add little gems to the circles - had to sit on my hands) and added a gold embossed die cut for some serious glam.
Did you fall head over heels for the Opera Tags when they came out? Well wait until you see this - Opera Tags Christmas! Don't be fooled by the name - these are beautiful intricate designs that will dress up any occasion - I think Claire called them "Christmas" tags because it's her favorite time of year. I can see these (and maybe you will too later - wink!) for other occasions (double wink)!!
Of course the stamps work perfectly with the Waltzingmouse/Spellbinder Opera Tags Dies. There are also two sentiments included with this set in a perfect vintage font that will coordinate beautifully with any of your other Waltzingmouse images. And in perfect Claire style - always getting the most on each and every set - there is a "To" and "From" so you can make loads of quick tags for presents this season!
I know you have so much more you want to see today. Here's a list of all the other ladies showing you previews today - so grab a cuppa your favorite and ENJOY!!
