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.
