For Someone Special

Good morning!  Just a quick post, as I'm off to the hairdresser's and then to a doctor's appointment...oh joy.  Soon, we'll be scrounging for gift bags for those hard to wrap little gifts, so I thought I'd best get started.  This one will be for Christmas, so I made sure to add some gold, but it can be re-used for any occasion.


 I had some fun with a new Spellbinder die...Decorative Labels Eight, and I used the three larger dies of the set.  The largest one is worked on kraft paper, while the smaller one for the sentiment, I've edged in gold metallic.  I think this could become my favourite Spellbinder die....so far!

Using a flourish stamp and gold embossing powder, I've heat embossed a little festive shine.


And here's a close-up of the image, which I have coloured with copics.  This little treasure (Jules) is from Saturated Canary, isn't she a sweetie!

I hope I've given you some inspiration to make your own gift bags this year.  Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful day!
