PBSC November - Anything but a Card!

It's the first Saturday of the month, so that means it's time for a new Penny Black Saturday Challenge...the theme this month is:

'Anything but a Card'

As usual, we are sponsored by the awesome 1-2-3 Stitch:

Prize - a $20 voucher!

I made a set of Christmas gift tags using an assortment of Penny Black critters...there's a mixture of creatures from various transparent stamp sets, and a few wood-mounted stamps too. I kept the design really simple...stamping and heat embossing my Simon Says Stamp 'Falling Snow' background stamp on some plain kraft tags in WOW 'Sparkling Snow' embossing powder. Then added the watercoloured critters at the bottom...I extended or added a snowy ground to each, then fussy cut them out...and added some festive red & white Baker's twine to each one. 

Here's a closer look at them all:
