Hi, it’s Jill here with a pair of Christmas tags created with Creative Imaginations and Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft products.  

Here's a close up.

I began by stamping my images onto Create Imaginations Rejoice patterned papers.  Next, I colored the images using Stamper’s Big Brush Pens and PITT® Artist Pens.

The Stamper’s Big White Pen is fantastic for adding highlights to colored images.

For a finished look, color around the image with Subtle Tones PITT Artist Pens in Cold Grey and Warm Grey.

Stamp your sentiments and add coordinating pattern papers.

Quick, fun, and simple! This set of tags would be easy to mass produce for use with holiday packages and gift bags.
