A Challenge Of Christmas gifts

This started as a MDF Tag, first one I've ever decorated.

 Good Morning bloggers, it's Saturday morning so It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.

This is a plain black Diary for 2021 which is for a Birthday gift my Daughter is giving to her friend.

This is the Diary wrapped and tagged to match.

This week is my turn to host and I would like to see 'Anything But A Card' (with an anything goes option), There's lots of scope here, tags, notebooks, gift bags, or stationery sets etc.............

I created several items for this challenge, the Tag was a MDF tag which I covered with a 300gsm stamping card.  I created a background on it with oxides and some stamping.  I created a little scene on a smaller piece of card to sit in the centre and did some finishing touches with gilding wax, wooden butterflies and a coffee stirrer.

The Diary was a plain black one from Asda for 2021, my daughter wanted one decorating for her friends Birthday in December.  I needed a theme and my Daughter said she liked Game Of Thrones, so Zemira and dragons from lavinia certainly fit the bill.  The background was created using distress oxides, then mountains and grassland created with torn paper, I stamped images and flouishes and added highlights.

Then came wrapping for the Diary as my Daughter wanted something a little different, so first I wrapped it in tissue paper to protect it, then wrapped it in brown paper.  Tied it with string then decorated the paper in one corner and a tag to match the Diary inside.

Here is the prize on offer:-
