This is the third post in my series, The 10 Days of November.
You can access previous posts here, and here.
As I was planning this series, I knew I wanted to include a few handmade journaling and filler cards.
For these cards, I primarily used Papertrey Ink stamps and dies.

I decided to use Stampin' Up's new Wondrous Wreath set. Many of the cards I've seen around blogland using this set are done in the various shades greens with red berries. I thought fall colors would a pretty.

I actually thought that
as I was finishing up these cards.
When I came to my senses, I realized these cards came together quickly,

Welcome to "A Paperie Journey's" new look! For those of us old gals, a facelift. I was looking for something clean and simple but stylish. I feel I've achieved that look. What do you think?

Since that post, I've been playing with mists, distress inks, and sprays in an effort to make a more interesting one layer tag. I have two to show you.
For the tag above, I misted the background with Silver Sugar Glimmer Mist.

With the holidays right around the corner, let's make one-layer Christmas/Holiday Tags.
I have a few to share with you.
Santa's hat was colored with Prisma pencils and topped with a pom pom.
For the tag above, I used a PSX stamp from 1999.

This week's host is Ardyth. Her challenge, Play the Game. Create a one layer card inspired by a game or some form of play.

Okay! Moving on. Let me ask you, how many of you give gift cards during the holidays, or throughout the year for that matter?

I used a combination of burlap and felt to add interest. The doilies were misted with Old Lace Glimmer Mist. It adds a beautiful shimmer to the tags. Unfortunately you can't see it in the picture.
