Here's what I put together:
Dala Horse has surprisingly turned into my go-to set for quick Christmas projects. I created this tag a while back, and wanted to do something similar in card format.
I just love how the horse looks embossed in white on kraft.
To add a little extra punch and interest I added watercolored accents in white and red using Kuretake Gansai watercolors.
The sentiment is from Bright Baubles and a bit of twine finishes it off.
