Butterfly Reflections, Ink

Hello friends!  Well, Christmas is only a week away, and I'm sure everyone is finishing up last minute shopping, baking and crafting!  Today I am sharing some quick tags, these are great for gift wrapping, or even gift giving!

My favorite ink for this is Altenew Black Crisp Permanent ink - it's such a dark black, and performs beautifully with all the different Alcohol markers. I needed a quick and simple banner, so I used WPlus9 Be Merry Stamp and die set for this.  I mou...
