Gloria used some wonderful embellishments and paper layering to make this tag such a precious work of art. Here is what Gloria had to say about it!

"I used Graphic 45 packaging to create a "tall tag" that can be used as a gift tag. I use a marker to color the little girl's hair to be darker. The original image is very pale hair, and I wanted my little darling to have darker hair. You CAN use Copic Markers to alter your Graphic 45 papers!" -Gloria Stengel
