Final Look at Christmas Gifts

December 29, 2012 · by makingthemarrow | in Artwork | tagged Christmas, Craft, Lettering | 1 Comment

After spending the better part of, say, my entire holiday in bed with some sort of evil cold/flu/plague hybrid, I managed to cut out all the letters for the tags that I needed. I then combined the tags with the two specialty papers: Add in a bit of Washi tape, brown packing paper, and red […]

December 15, 2012 · by makingthemarrow | in Artwork | tagged Acrylic, Christmas, Craft, Design | 1 Comment
