bags tags and boxes at stamps and stencils

Good morning to you! I hope you are okay? There's a new challenge over at stampsandstencils where we would like to see bags, tags or boxes...here's what Cec had to say....

 With Christmas coming up and the gift buying underway, we are going to need something to wrap them in.  Let's make some mixed media tags, bags & boxes that will be as treasured by the recipient as the gift itself.  Don't forget to include some stamping or stenciling.

With this in mind I made a gift bag for a party that Penny is going to at the weekend!



Here's the finished bag ... but I started with a plain white bag...


I used distress ink and a clarity stencil to create the background.


These guys are definitely my go to stamps at the moment!!!! I stamped them and fussy cut them and added to the bag.


I also added the recipients name!

I do hope you can join us this month - looking forward to seeing what you make!

Hugs
