Yes, 24 hours to go before a lot of us will be swanning off to New Year’s Eve parties so what better than a little black dress? lol
I started with a manila tag, stained the edges and added a tag from my ephemera box…

I made some word plates, aligning each word to the right so that I could attach to the left with brads…
Then I set about making the embellishments. If you have ever bought Bonios take a look inside the box at the textured effect of the card (it’s lovely thick card, too)…

It provides a lovely wood effect for the dress forms so I used it to cut one and then set about making a dress from black card covered with sparkly mesh ribbon. I cut a Spellbinders Christmas tree from inked book paper thickened with card…
I mounted the embellishments and added a small Christmas stamp over the tag before cutting and adding 2 gold jingle bells, one from gold mirri card and 1 from gold canvas textured card, overlaid and stuck with a red bow to finish them. Then I added some soft, thin cotton thread through the label loop…

Finally, as the tag is in recognition of New Year’s Eve, I cut and added a black card ‘31’ using Halloween movers & shapers…
Here’s the finished tag…
Goodbye 2013, we’re looking forward to 2014 and all the crafting we can cram in!!
Happy New Year everyone!
