Today I am sharing a large tag that I created using lots of <a href="https://creativeembellishments.com/" target="_blank">Creative Embellishments</a> chipboard. I used the <a href="https://creativeembellishments.com/large-ornament-tags.html?search=large%20ornament%20" target="_blank">Large Ornament Tags</a> for my base.

I wasn't happy with the result- it was too bright- I toned them down by drybrushing white acrylic paint on them. I was happy with that. I added a few flowers and ribbon from my stash. I colored the <a href="https://creativeembellishments.com/mini-light-strands.html?search=mini%20light%20strands" target="_blank">Mini Lights Strands</a> with markers and then clear heat embossed it.

I'm not sure I have ever created a Thanksgiving page before. I just never think to take photos. Last year Felipe gave me 2 beautiful table runners he brought back from visiting his parents in Ecuador. This runner was perfect for our Thanksgiving celebration, so I decided to document it. <br />The background paper is from Amy Tangerine. The yellow is from My Minds Eye. Both of these have been in my stash for quite some time. The brown is from Echo Park. I also used lots of <a href="http://creativeembellishmentsblog.com/" target="_blank">Creative Embellishments</a> chipboard on this page:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpobxvkH697KanAJ22ZOlqTQKOGsrh_5WLPI_Y2diD2sggbumJGBWKYCxTyYu2z31C-ar0nCLcixa_LT9Zmqg0asCK6qWTzJsRTWjGbgGhJA0og3fPumV40ii4kk36OVLjpRTeBRkOOsnq91Q4AAXTe_zKAeo9bm-f_NAiYp2R7DaSOBb_88Tv8cSpM9o/s1350/IMG_1199.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="1350" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpobxvkH697KanAJ22ZOlqTQKOGsrh_5WLPI_Y2diD2sggbumJGBWKYCxTyYu2z31C-ar0nCLcixa_LT9Zmqg0asCK6qWTzJsRTWjGbgGhJA0og3fPumV40ii4kk36OVLjpRTeBRkOOsnq91Q4AAXTe_zKAeo9bm-f_NAiYp2R7DaSOBb_88Tv8cSpM9o/w640-h640/IMG_1199.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I added the patterned papers to my background and then machine stitched them in place.
