Glittery Wings Fluttering by

My mom always said that the presentation of a gift  was as important as the gift it's self. I  still follow this message, whether I am wrapping gifts or entertaining. I spend extra time designing the look and feel of my wrappings and special meals. I think a great presentation is like giving an extra little gift.

So for todays post, it's all about my gift tag of a family of butterflies. I used Tim Holtz Craft Resist Paper Stash paper as my starting point. After fussy cutting out all the butterflies, I added rhinestone bling flourishes, and lots of Stickles. All of these products can be found at the amazing Flying Unicorn Store. I then used an old broken pearl necklace between this family of butterflies to connect them. A sheer black ribbon ties it on to a gift box.

Hope some one will present you with a pretty present this week.
yours truly, gerri

    What a sweet gesture! And I cannot imagine anyone wanting to throw out your tag--it's far too precious, unique and pretty for trash!
    Beautiful work!

    That Kraft resist paper is perfect for the butterfly designs. I like how you embellished them as well. I totally agree with a nicely wrapped gift. When I married my hubby he told me I was the first one he bought a gift bag for. All his other gifts were always given in a brown grocery sack! No joke. LOL

    Dear Gerri
    I can just imagine them fluttering as they are attached to a gift.
    A very beautiful idea.
