Hello! I hope all of you are having a terrific Tuesday! I have had some great day's off and yes.... spent more than a few in my craft room! Aren't day's off just the BEST?! LOL
Today, I was able to post my Design Team card for iCopic Lover. I wanted to share a tip on how to make a cute gift bag quicker than you can blink an eye! I am using an adorable image by Cherry Cupcake by Wild Rose Studio. I think she has such a cute face and is a perfect stamp for any kind of celebration.
E000, E11, R20
G20, YG63, G40 (This is one of my favorite color combinations!)
B000, B12, B32
Y0000, Y000, Y32
Hair: E40, E42, E44, W6 and a White Sharpie
Sponged with Memento Bamboo Shoots Dye Ink (Tsukineko)
Colorless Blender. Texture was added to the dress by dotting the colorless blender. The Colorless blender actually "moves" the ink . The Areas of teture becomes lighter as it dries. You can always go back and add more texture!

This is a plain gift bag that can be purchased in packed of 10.
Tip: I frequently use white so it will coordinate with whatever my color theme is for any given project.
Background layer cut at 8.5 in. x 4.5 in.
Top layer of designer paper cut at: 3.75 in x 5.5 in.
Focal image mat cut with Petite Small Nestabilities Die (Spellbinder) . I often use a combination of Large/small Petite Oval die for my focal image and it's mat.
Left: flat and without dimension. Right: Scored, Sponged, Curled
I like to make veins with a scoring tool, sponge with various colors of ink and curl with scissors slightly. Notice how much more dimension the lea on the right has when compared to the one on the left.
The layers were adhered and the gift bag was embellished with ribbon, flowers and leaves. I added Platinum Stickles (Ranger) to the bow on the gift.
I hope you enjoyed this little tutorial on making a quick and easy gift bag for that special little girl. I have a "little" friend that has her name on it..... Now what shall I put in it for her little surprise?
