THE PAPER
Whenever I paint wrapping paper, I try to do an extra matching solid sheet. In the example above, I used a sold silver band to go with the silver snowflakes.

The stamping doesn’t have to be perfect. NOTHING has to be perfect!! In fact, it’s more interesting if there are mistakes and color gradations.

Remember: It’s WRAPPING PAPER : : someone is going to be tearing it off a package and they usually throw it away. Sad but true.
