Gifted!

December 11th 2012

Another post for today - I am just sneaking this in for the current Christmas Challenges (with Sketches) Challenge which has the twist this week of using the sketch on a gift bag!! I have been wanting to do this for ages so this was a perfect opportunity but of course LOL when you want to find something you never can and I had to go to several stores to finally find the white paper gift bags with handles!!!! At one point I despaired of ever finding them - hence the reason I am posting this with only a few hours to spare at the challenge blog!!!

The gorgeous patterned papers are all digi papers from the new release "Winter Wonderland" papers from Gecko Galz (the little tag is also from the Winter Wonderland set). Make sure you head over to the Gecko Galz site to see the rest of the great new products for December!! The cute little image which reminded me of a Xmas "Turtle Dove" for some reason is from Leanne Ellis' Etsy Store and is called "Gifted" - I thought this image was just perfect for the patterned papers along with the sparkly snowflakes and ribbon I added. I added some spots of silver & clear Kindy Glitz to the image as well for a bit of sparkle! I highlighted bits of the image with soft coloured Copic Markers as I wanted to keep with the theme of the patterned papers.
