Vintage Wrap Up

Good morning everyone!  I thought I'd show another little gift bag today, once again made with a brown paper bag.  I'm quite taken with these.....perfect for a tiny gift, folds up nicely after use, and the recipient could use it again next year.... 



How about some vintage this time, and I'm finally using these delicious Melissa Frances papers (Home for the Holidays) that I purchased last year!     I've distressed and inked the edges, pairing it up with some kraft coloured card stock.   I've used a couple of Nestie dies and added some gold stamping to the brown background mats for a bit of Christmas sparkle.

The center of attraction is the Magnolia Gift Giving Tilda stamp, which I've had kicking around for some time.....coloured with copics in non-traditional colours, then edged with DI.  A lace bow and a few pearls finish off the front, while a sentiment, from the Inkadinkado Winter Trails set finishes off the back.

So now I can wrap another gift!  Only three weeks left....I guess I had better get busy.   Thanks so much for visiting, and hope you all have a wonderful day!
