Here's my humble offering ...a testament to my love for all things shiny (chocolaty, nutty, yummy). I started with one (yeah, right!) precious Ferrero Rocher. By the magic of Christmas and with the help of Santa's little men ....
.... voila! We have a sweet tag with all the sugary goodness of the one that started it all! Waste not, want
As you know, my project started with something decadently yummy wrapped in gold sitting proudly in a brown paper cup. I used a piece of left-over patterned paper from Festive Hollybobs, a sweet angel and candy canes from Angelberry Christmas and a sentiment from Gingerbread Twist to make a tag. The gold wrapper is now a band in the middle of the tag and the brown paper cup is now a halo around the angel. Extra embellies from my stash: red ribbon, red and white WRMK baker's twine, Stardust Stickles on her wings and gold, red and green Liquid Pearls. I also used Graph'It Markers (Burgundy, Cherry, Neutral Grey 1 & 2, Amazon, Sequoia, Normandy) to add extra colour to the candy canes and sentiment.
