Mom's Birthday
I made this giftset for my mom's birthday. The set includes a custom gift bag, card, and giftcard holder. I worked with burlap for the first time, but otherwise relied on some tried-and-true Holtz techniques to create the finishes. I stamped the images using versaink in black, then distressed the backgrounds with tea dye and victorian velvet distress inks. Spritz with a hint of pearl glimmer mist, hot-glue flowers, and voila! Done.
