Christmas Gift Bag


Crafting with Friends has another great anything goes challenge this week. Lacy Sunshine is the sponsor of the challenge. I have used their digital image called Frozen Lilac Flower Pot Pretty

I used a brown paper lunch bag as my base to the gift bag.   I coloured my image with glitter and Copics and then layered die cut snowflakes, Christmas tree and a poinsettia on the bag.  I sprayed the poinsettia with a light blue ink spray and then added some gems to give the bag some sparkle. I added glitter to my snowflakes.  To compete the project I added a sentiment from Just-Rite stamps. 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope that you have a very creative week.
