Tis the season of all the trimmings....
and what better way to trim a gift bag
then with a "Bag Tag"
I love to use a simple Kraft paper bag
with a little tissue paper,
helps the "Bag Tag" POP!

The base of each tag is one
G45's ~ Large Tag Album ~ Ivory.
I traced the "tag" onto 2 different
G45 papers from the A Christmas Carol Collection.

For this tag I used Bah Humbug,
using both sides of the paper.

I applied Multi Medium to the face of this "tag"
misted CCB ~ Tissuestock with water
and squinched it up on the tag
tearing it in spots.
I applied a layer Perfect Paints ~ Bright Gold
mixed with Perfect Glaze Medium
wiping off at will.

I finished off my first tag with Lots of
Petaloo Sugared Botanica Blooms
and Vintage Velvet Dogwoods
Velvet Hydrangeas.

....now onto my next "bag tag"!

For my second "Bag Tag", I used
G45's ~ Seasonal Sentiments and
Yuletide Greetings.

I inked around the edges of the tags,
I then applied BoBunny Gold Glitter Paste
through TCW Vineyard stencil around the edges.

For my flower cluster I used
Petaloo's Sugared Bontanica Blooms
along with a Sugared Pick.

I tucked in Petaloo's Velvet Hydrangeas
along with the stapled Vintage Velvet Leaves
from the Dogwood package.

I added one of the
G45's Christmas Carol Chipboard
to finish off the tag!

Finally to "Bag Tag" #3!

This was actually the first "Bag Tag" I created!
I began by only cutting out one new tag from
G45's Christmas Carol ~ Seasonal Sentiments.
I chose to paint the G45's Large Tag ~ Ivory
with Perfect Paints ~ Rainstorm.

I applied Perfect Paints Dried Cranberry through
TCW ~ Bee on Time stencil.
Then I created in a concoction of
Perfect Paints ~ Bright Gold and
Perfect Glaze Medium....Loving the look!
