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!
Video

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!

Love these tags. You’re right. I was very nervous at first watching your painting but WOW the end result is beautiful. Just as you promised.
Sandy, you are one of my FAVORITES! Love your talent, your teaching and that you love the Lord too! Thank you for all you do.
Love the tags the little bit of white really brought them to life. The card is amazing.
Wow! Gorgeous tags. These are my fave so far.
Oh my goodness! These are beautiful. I love that they look like a mess as you are working, and then suddenly they don’t look like a mess! Magic.
Ouuuuu-la-la these pine cone tags turned out fantastic and how you finish the tags…never knew pine cones could look so good…well done and tfs
Watching you paint is so interesting. It looks so much like a hot mess at first and then turns out beautiful! Love the pine cones!
Just beautiful !
The tags are very beautiful! It was amazing how the snow made the card stand out. I loved, loved, loved these tags. Every time I watch your videos I learn something. So thank you.
I love the pinecone tags! What a great idea!
Wowza those tags are gorgeous! I also love the card. You are very talented. I am nowhere near your expertise. I am just learning watercolour for my card and 3D paper crafting. It would be an honour to win your artwork. Thank you for the opportunity!
Wonderful! I love pinecones and this looks like lots of fun to make!
Beautiful tags and card. Love how everything looks so messy while you’re working and ends up to be so gorgeous in the end! Love the red/pink in the background on the card too!
I loved watching how you painted these tags. Love the card too. That red really pops!
Wow – these tags are super!
Amazing! I was sure you had a hot mess going there and poof, beautiful. Thanks for the video.
Beautiful, although I wouldn’t saying that in the beginning of your coloring. But I trusted you that it would look gorgeous and it did.
I would probably frame your tags to give them aways as a gift, they are a piece of art. Thanks for sharing.
I love the colors in and on your palette. I also love the way you built up the colors to make these beautiful tags.
Hi Sandy! These tags are just as you sai…gorgeous!! And the bow is just perfect! But Sandy the card WOW…GORGEOUS STUNNING BEAUTIFUL AMAZING…I mean seriously definitely frame worthy!!!

Thank you so much for sharing your talent…maybe you’ll get a chance to share how you did the background for the card!!

Absolutely beautiful image – very versatile! Beautiful tags and a gorgeous card! Your talent never fails to amaze me!
I love watching you water color. Beautiful, soothing, relaxing and inspiring. Love your creativity
So much to love about this demo. Exciting alternative for a simple stamp. Quickly producing multiples that each look lovely. Flat brush so not fussing. The beauty of simple things in nature like pine cones, needles and snow. Yowsa!
Pretty pine cone tags and card. I like the loose watercoloring.
Ooohhh, love these ! Beautiful 🙂
Beautiful pine cones!
I love Pune cones and these are beautiful!
Beautiful pinecone tags, I love how you added that darling bow.
Beautiful work as usual. I love seeing the process of working on multiples. You are an awesome teacher and artist. I enjoy all your videos. Thanks!
Great tags….and it gives me a great idea for “rescuing” backgrounds that I would have original thought I couldn’t save! As always, you are such an inspiration!
Thanks for sharing new ideas for using stamps. Its alot of fun to find more ways to use them.

These tags are so beautiful. Love your creative ideas. For a newbie I am always inspired. Thank you for sharing your talent. Big hugs!
For palette juice these are astounding and very stunning! I pray that I can be less of a procrastinator and more of a painter! TFS
I admit I love trees and since pinecones are from trees these tags have captured my attention!
These tags are my favorite so far! The card is gorgeous.
