Here is number 3
In the case of all of my tags, - they look very different from the originals, but I took inspiration from several elements: The colour and elements are very different but I used the words Merry Christmas, the snow flakes and the idea of the lattice behind the main snowflake. You can see the original tag here
This is my tag number 4
Again very different from the original, but I took inspiration from some of the elements: The general rustic look with the gingham background (in my case a Waltzing Mouse stamp), the gingham ribbon at the top and the word postcard. Here is the original for this one
And here finally is my tag number 5
- I wished I could have made it it look more like the original but I don't own any of the dies she used and so had to improvise heavily. This time I took inspiration from the colour, the music background, the embellishment at the bottom with the rosette and snowflake and the word Noel. The original is here

I really enjoyed making these tags, taking inspiration like this makes me do things I would not have thought of otherwise and I am looking forward to the next one already which will be published on Monday October 22.

I think your tags are amazing!! I still have to play catch up myself..lol
Your tags are wonderful. I think "inspired by" is a great way to go. I don't have the dies either.. so I also have to improvise. I imagine Funkie Junkie loves your creations too.
As always..your art is amazing!! I like all three but #5 is my favorite.
Hugs

Lovely tags, Astrid!! Everything works so well together.
Loving all your wonderful tags, great designs. xx
Großartige Weihnachtstags, Astrid, und die nostagischen Farben unterstreichen noch den Vintage-Stil. Mir gefällt besonders die schöne Dekoration des ersten Tags, doch mein Favorit ist Nummer 3!
Love all your beautiful tags!! Amazing work!!
Pretty tags!
You've designed these tags absolutely fantastic.
I like the gorgeous details.
All three of these are wonderful! I love when Christmas pieces are done in colors other than the expected - beautiful.
Hi Astrid real beauties and I love that they are different and unique, I especially love that tag with the beautiful La Blanche stamp. Have had my eye on that for a while. xx
I love these interpretations Astrid, such gorgeous vintage images and colours. Your designs work so well.

Each one an absolute gem... I'm so far behind (even with blog visiting, never mind the 12 tags!), but also have a break coming up, and hope to do some catching up. I love the journey you've taken with these!

Hi Astrid, your tags are absolutely wonderful and you shouldn't feel bad that you didn't use the same products as I did. Inspiration is what it is all about and I can definitely see how you were inspired with each tag. I really love your tags - like them better than mine, in fact. You have a lovely vintage style that really appeals to me. I especially love your version of tag #4 with your faded gingham look, but they are all really gorgeous. So happy to have you joining in the fun this year!
Hugs,
Linda
