At the moment, you cannot go far on Pinterest without coming across blush. The pink tones are coming into their own in 2017 inspiring home decor, art and more.
With many of us embracing the beauty of grey this year, it didn't take long for it to be paired with the popular blush but whether it is paired with greys, coppers or golds, there is no doubting that it creates a sophisticated, feminine look. We love this colour palette we spied over at The Pixel Odyssey and thought we would use it as inspiration for a few gift tags to use this Christmas.
Our first gift tag was decorated using the beautiful Pink Chiffon from DecoArt as its background. We painted the folk art flower from our Bluebirds kit using DecoArt's Metallic Lustre in Rose Gold, finishing the tag with a little brush lettering learnt at one of Nikki Whiston's fabulous lettering courses. If you are interested in learning this on trend skill, there are many courses around the UK and of course you can find plenty of resources and tutorials on Pinterest.
Completely in love with the Rose Gold we decided to transform our Dotty Snowflake and that it did! Inspired by this vintage look wrapping paper from Katie Leamon we reached for DecoArt's Chalky finish paint in Yesteryear, a warm grey that works beautifully with the metallic look here. To complete the project, we lightly brushed Rose Gold Metallic Lustre around the edges of the card.
Another gorgeous grey is DecoArt's Artefact in their Chalky Finish range. Taking a step away from the coppers and golds, we paired it with Metallic acrylic in Zinc to create these cute angels from our Christmas kit using our Liner brush.
These small tags did not take long to decorate but they made a huge impact on the gifts we have to give this Christmas. If you cannot decide where to start, do as we did and look to your favourite wrapping paper or your ribbons and trimmings to inspire you. We love picking out colour schemes from old gift wrap and this was interestingly how Carol first decided on the colours we included in our Round Brush Starter kit.
If you would like to share your photos of your hand painted gift wrap this festive season, we'd love you to tag us in your creations or use the hashtag #youcanfolkit
Happy Folking! x
