MCT Oct Stamp Release Sneak #3

Hello! Welcome to day 3 of sneak peeks! Today we are featuring the new set called XL Label Borders. These are all totally awesome and fit the fab XL Label Die. Here, I wanted to show how it can make a cute gift tag for your holiday gifts...BUT I also wanted to show other ways to use them :) 
Here I used the XL Label Borders, The XL Label Die, and the Polka Dot Surprise stamp set for the sentiment. I did one of my favorite techniques....a rainbow effect using distress inks in Barn Door, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Shabby Shutters, Broken China, and Milled Lavender. 
I spritzed with perfect pearls and water in a mini mister to blend out the colors....Onto my last card
I added some frosted lace stickles to the santa outfit. :) Ok pop over to Emma's Blog to see what she and the rest of the awesome DT have come up with!...but first...
