Just because a stamp comes with certain elements doesn’t mean we need to stick with them – and in this video, I’ll show you how I edited the stamp and added the pine bough to the Hanging Pinecones stamp set from Impression Obsession to make these luscious tags!

For the card I stamped the whole image – and increased the contrast and detail in the pinecone. I added snow on the tops of some of the little parts, and the background was done the same way as on the tags!
These are an unexpected kind of tag design – little mini pieces of art to tie to a package!

I could watch you watercolor all day. Love the card too.
Gorgeous tag!
I love the 24 tags of Christmas you do. These are beautiful, as always. Thanks for sharing!
So cool and relatively easy! So much so I bought the pinecone stamp so I can try. Thanks for the inspiration. Happy Holidays!
Oh my gosh these are beautiful! Thanks for sharing
I think this one might be my favorite of all the tags you made – just so quiet and peaceful. I think we need more of that at this time of the year, yes? Thank you!
Gorgeous!!
This one is lovely! You make creating art into magic!
You know what fascinates me the most about watercolor, it’s that you start off with such a ‘hot mess’ and then magically, it transforms into a piece of art! I’ll never tire of that! Beautiful tags, as always, Sandy. I appreciate the education & encouragement!
Beautiful. You make it look so easy.
Wow! These are beautiful and so realistic!
Love the detailed touches you add to the pine cone!
Oh gosh. These are just lovely! The card is divine as well!
✨Beautiful! ✩ ♡ Love all of the colors. Totally made me smile. ❣￭❁
Don’t know how you do it every time, your talent with watercolours is fantastic. I touch paint to paper & get mess you get pinecones. Card is stunning too. Thank you for all the much needed advice.
These are very pretty! I love the loose watercoloring. Thanks for the video tutorial. I am always looking for tutorials on watercoloring images and this was very helpful. I hope I win one of these so I can see it close up.
Oh Sandy I love these tags. thanks so much for the chance to win. I have only just found you a couple of months ago but watch every utube video that you send out. Your very talented and you make it all look so easy. thank you again for sharing your talent!

Wow, Sandy these are just stunning. My husband planted a pine tree for each of our children the summers they were born, (36 & 33 years ago). That is what always comes to mind when I see anything pine related. These are truly stunning, I enjoyed watching your process.
Wow! These are awesome! x
I’ll have to admit I was a little bit apprehensive that this was going to turn out looking like anything, but wow! I love watching you work!
I so admire your work. You are my reason to paint and create. Thank you for all the wonderful ideas. The pine cone is my favorite.
It was fascinating to watch you apply color so randomly and end up with something this pretty….one of my favs!
Beautifu!
Hi Sandy, Beautiful tags & card. TFS Hugs & Blessings Lisa
This is one of my favorite. Can’t wait to try it.
I’m always timid with dark colors but the contrast really looks great!!
So pretty; there is something I just love about pinecones and evergreens this time of the year!
Turned out beautiful!
Your art is the high light of my day. These are are wonderful. thank you for sharing.
Hi Sandy! Your pinecone tags and card look sooooooo natural 🙂 I need to add some winter stamps to my collection and I’m going to take the plunge and try some watercoloring!!! Wish me luck 🙂
These are really pretty.
Tags are pretty, but I love the card. I think it’s the pop of red from the ribbon.
FABULOUS!!!!
I’m trying.
I’m sorry if this is a duplicate comment. Cant remember if I commented yet but I really enjoyed your video. The snow on the pinecones looks so real!
