Gift wrapping....

We are having a really hot and humid spell, so I thought I could cool it down a bit with a Christmas creation.  Such a shame we can't save some of those really cold temperatures to moderate the summer heat.  But then, what would I complain about? lol


Here I've decorated a bag, all ready for Christmas giving, using an image from Make it Crafty.  Copics are the colouring medium, with some DI for the edges.  A Spellbinder's die to cut it out, and then some papers and washi tape for the background.  The papers and tags are all from the Dovecraft - Tis the Season collection.

Thanks for popping by, and I do hope you are having a splendid summer.

Now, for some challenges for my project:
