CT Crystals Creations ~~ Snowflakes

CT for Crystals Creations
Kit: Snowflakes
(Her blog has links to her stores HERE)


For these tag show offs, I used the beautiful work of Edward Reed.  I purchased these tubes when he was with a previous company that is no longer in business.  You can find his tubes at CDO (as of 3.14.14).  To use his work, you must have a  license and use the correct copyright. 


Hope you like what you see!  All of the tags I make come from my own imagination.  Any similarity to others' creations are purely coincidental.  Please do not claim as your own.  Thanks for looking!
