Today I have another project for the Merry Monday Challenge - I had so many ideas floating around in my head I just had to get them out! And I'm getting this in just under the wire! Instead of a Christmas Card - I made a Christmas Gift bag - using a 5" x 7.5" Kraft bag.
This is a flat bag so you'd have to put something thin in it - like a gift card - or you could slip in 3 hand stamped cards and envelopes. I tore a piece of Terminology Tissue Wrap sponging it with ink for the background. The pine bough and cones and sentiment are Waltzingmouse stamps and dies. The bow is a die from Lil'Inker Designs. The cones are up on foam dots and to finish it off, I added three enamel dots.
For my design, I used this week's Cas(e) this Sketch
Why do the weekends go by so fast?!
Stamps: Festive Foliage, Compact Sentiments - Waltzingmouse
Paper: Vintage Cream, Pure Poppy - PTI
Ink: Versafine Vintage Sepia, Archival Jet Black, Ranger Distress - Frayed Burlap
Accessories: dotted kraft bag - Impress, Tissue Wrap Terminology - Tim Holtz Idea-ology, Bow Die -Lil'Inker Designs, Pine cones die set - Waltzingmouse, enamel dots - Michaels, Scor-Tape, foam dots.
Fun bag! That bow is too cute on it~
