So, all you have to do is hop along and see all of the creations and leave a little love! You have until Wednesday, December 6th at 6 p.m.to complete the hop to leave comments. Enjoy all of the beautiful designs featuring For the Love of Gift Giving!
The set that I have chosen to use for today: ODBD "His Gift."
I immediately thought of an easy gift wrap that I had learned from my friend Sharon and is my fallback for a quick but pretty gift presentation. Cover an inexpensive Kraft gift bag with a sheet of 12" decorator paper, then dress it up!
I really enjoy coloring this image in the "His Gift" set. I used Copic Sketch markers, but have also watercolor painted it in the past. It is really easy to color, as much of the shading is already provided.
I also created a tag from the sentiment included in the "His Gift" set: "May you have the gift of faith...
