An elegant package

Here’s a gift bag worthy of royalty, in my humble opinion.  I am really pleased with the elegant simplicity of this stencil – and I am really pleased that Stampin’ Up!’s Decor Elements line has introduced stencils as a design option.  They’re easy, they’re fun, and they can be so much larger than stamps!

  • Vintage Ornaments I Decor Elements Stencil
  • Always Artichoke and Ruby Red Craft ink pads, Encore Gold ink pad
  • Stampin’ Sponges
  • Very Vanilla and Always Artichoke cardstock
  • Purchased kraft bag, gold wire ribbon, and tissue

I used a sticky note to mask off the top of the ornament in order to make it a proper gold hanger.  This image is equally beautiful using Classic ink, with a softer, more vintage look.

I’m looking forward to stenciling some canvas bags with this image.
