I am back today with my project that I created from the leftover Mystery Collection pieces I used in yesterday's post. I am a sponsor of the Build Your Holiday Stash Blog Hop again and the prize I am offering are 3 Christmas themed Mystery Collections. 

You can read all about Mystery Collections in yesterday's blog post. I explain what they are and where you can purchase them. 

Using my leftover pieces I created 3 gift tags to use on holiday gifts. I didn't have a whole lot of scraps so I went with a strip method. I also didn't want the tags to be such a stark white so I used my distress oxide inks in Frayed Burlap and Tea Dye to give them some color. I colored up the owl again for all 3 tags and used him and the adorable sentiment on the tags in small circles so the strips could still be highlighted. I then used the twine that came in the collection to create the "tassel" on my tag. Super quick project to do!

Copic Colors Used: 

Owl's Body: E25, E23, E21

Owl's Scarf: R39, R37, RR35

These are all the scraps that were leftover from the 

Mystery Collection I used. I still have the stamp 

to go in my stash!

Thanks for stopping by...be sure to enter in the Build Your Holiday Stash blog hop for a chance to win some fabulous prizes! See you tomorrow!
