The stamps that I used include Flurries background and Essential Holiday Elegance.
First, I started out with a blank chipboard tag and covered it with Picket Fence Distress Stain. After that dried, on my craft mat I squeezed out some Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint Distress Stains and dragged my tag through that.
After the tag dried from that I inked up the Flurries background stamp with VersaMark and stamped it onto the tag, then heat embossed it with white embossing powder.
Next, I swiped an Antique Linen Distress Stain over the embossed image for a little antiquing look.
I then attached the two ribbons to the bottom of the tag with a stapler. 
The sentiment was stamped onto a 2x2 block of cardstock using the Comfort & Joy stamp from Essential Holiday Elegance multiple times. {The block it mounted on foam dots.} The snowflake stamped in the middle came from using an ink marker on a single flake from the Flurries background.
The snowflakes are from Maya Road and were colored white using the Picket Fence Distress Stain, then I coated them with Picket Fence Distress Stickles.
Once the snowflakes were dry, I snipped the backs off of the Bo Bunny brads and attached them with glue dots in various places.
Lastly, I attached the ribbon to the top tag hole.

I hope you enjoyed my tag!!

From here, you're headed to Gretchen's blog.  Enjoy the hop!  Thanks for your comments!  Remember to order your MSS from ihp before Wednesday to get the 15% discount!
