I had a couple of presents to wrap at the weekend and thought that these stamps would be perfect for making hand made wrapping paper. I used some brown parcel paper and then selectively inked up my stamps with Marvy brush pens. It took ages to do but I was quite pleased with the result. Once stamped, I sprayed the sheet with gold mica similar to cosmic shimmer....(I'm just using up what I've got in the draw). The shimmer just gave the paper a lift making it a bit more special. I had to iron it when it was dry just to straighten the paper out a bit.
The tags were stamped using the same pens, but this time I stamped off one image first, then sprayed the stamp with a fine mist of water before stamping onto semi absorbent cream card that I had already spritzed with gold mica, this gave the very slightly fuzzy image that I wanted.
I wrapped the presents with the paper then tied the tags of with raffia which I layered with the die cut leaf flourish.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
"Corrosive Challenges - Another Dimension"
"That Crafty Place - Anything goes"
"2 Sisters - Anything goes"
"One Stop Craft - Colour on Craft"
"Allsorts Challenge - It's your choice"
"Stempelsonne Challenge - A Flower for You"
"Fun with Shapes and more - Package"
