How to Create a Natural Pattern with Random Stamping:

 1. Choose three stamps of various sizes & three matching inks.

2. Space the first image evenly across your page.

3. Be sure to stamp off the edges.

4. Ink up your second image, and stamp evenly in the spaces.
     You can do this the same way you drop cookies on a baking sheet.  Just leave some room in between stamped images.
5. Stamp the last (smallest) image to fill in the blanks.  Done!

To complete your beautifully hand-stamped gift bag, add a tag cut from your Cricut machine.  This tag is from the new CTMH Artiste collection.  Finish off with some high quality ribbon and you have a darling and heartfelt present!
