There are a number of people who are presenting us with tag ideas for Christmas. I don't usually use tags but I love making them because they are quick and easy (sometimes) and I can later turn them into cards.
On day 7 of
Tracey's 25 Tags of Christmas, which was Ellen Hutson day, I was inspired by this tag by Carolyn Peeler:
and made this one.
I'm also sending this to
Loll's 12 Tags of Christmas, which is a mixed media challenge. You must include stamping and two other elements. I heat embossed on vellum the little tree from EE and colored it on the back. The background was watercolored with DIs, and splattered with water.
Day 8 of Tracey's tags was sponsored by Uniko and although I didn't use their stamps I was inspired by this tag of Sarah Gray's - the one on the left.
I used a W&W set from SOA and followed Sarah's line stamping.
Tracey has many designers with inspiration on her blog and Loll has friends adding to her inspiration. You definitely should check out their fabulous work.

Two fantastic tags Bobby. Love the lightness of the vellum tree over your distress ink background. The splatters look awesome. Thanks for sharing at my Twelve Tags of Christmas event!
Love the traditional colours and CAS design of your trees tag ... sweet!! xx
Gorgeous tags ..... I spotted the one on Loll's 12 Tags event and I had to pop over and comment. I love your design .... the vellum tree is gorgeous and I love how you've created the look of light coming from the star ..... stunning! xx
I love your takes on these tags, Bobby! That tree is stunning, and the background you've created is amazing! Your coloring on vellum, and the night sky with the splatters is mighty cool!! And the little trees tag is just sweet! Marvelously done in traditional Christmas colors. Well done you!! Bev
I LOVE this tree, Bobby! It's so dainty and wistful! Beautiful background for it too!
Wonderful tags Bobby!! The background on your first is amazing!!
I LOVE this background on that tree was well as the awesome tree stamp! What texture you created in that background! This one caught my eye immediately!
I love your background for your artsy tree Bobby. Your 2nd tag is fun and very Christmasy. TFS Hugs, Nancy
The second is cute, Bobby ... but OH my stars, the first is quite possibly the prettiest you've created and I just adore it!

What a couple of beauties, Bobby ... amazing background behind that delicious vellum tree ... with a lovely French sentiment (I would say that wouldn't I?!) ... and such a fun and cute repeat pattern with that lovely traditional red and green! Hugs, Anita :)
Wonderful collection of Christmas tags...so pretty and so festive!
Great tags, Bobby, and I love the inspiration that you took from other's tags!
A duo of outstanding tags! The artsy tree is incredibly pretty and made all the moreso placed atop your lovely night sky background. Your repeated tree pattern in the second tag: sheer delight! Who wouldn't love a polka-dot tree! Festive fabulous, my friend!

Some delightful looks on all these tags. I was particularly taken with the vellum tree...it looks just lovely with the green tints showing through the creamy white swirls of color. It's a terrific collection of tags you've shared! TFS

Take Care!
