Penny Black stamp Gift Tag

Hello, Sorry I have been a bad blogger of late and not posted anything for little while. But you know how it is life gets in the way of what you would rather be doing at times.

Today post is only a little project but may help to get your creative side flowing. and this little idea is a lovely way to give a gift or take along to  BBQ as a hostesses gift  (lol I know been a bit silly. weathers not ready yet for BBQ'S).

So LETS GET STARTED

Take one of theses

6

a nice bottle of fizz

then

6

Take some transparent cellophane wrap this one had some flourishes printed on to it.

You can get this cello wrap at a florists or some greeting card shops sell it. Or try EBay

so what I did was take about 1 meter length gather it up around the bottle neck and secured with a ribbon tied in a bow.

I then made this gift tag to go on to the bottle.

I used a Penny Black stamp . I had this years but have not used them for a while. ( Note to myself look through and use some of my older stamps more often)

The image was stamped and coloured with copic markers and polychrome pencils. and didn't have a gold pen to do the edge of the bath ... but did have a gold stamping ink so I used a paint brush and smudged it where I wanted it. I used Xcut die for the frame and magnolia die for the pink vine type flourish.  The bubbles in cats bath tub were done using pearl decor pen to make them 3d. I let them dry and added more pearl bubble blobs to give more dimension.

To the top of the bottle where cello is gathered. I added some pearl sprays and attached some die cut butterflies. This is a memory box die.

Here is the finished item.

What i have done before is add wrapped chocolate's  loosely scatted inside the cello wrap then tied securely at the neck ( mmmmm Lindor Chocs my fave )

As you can see i also added a few bows there at the neck of the bottle.

I am sure who ever you give it to will be delighted with the effort you have gone too not only with there bottle of bubbly but how lovely it was gift wrapped.

I hope to get my self sorted and get back in to my  crafty room.

I did make a card to go on to my blog but....

Hot Diggity Dog - Chocolates and Mouse

Shhhhh ... don't tell any one but the sun has been shinning here all day ... not a rain cloud in sight... well not  from the view from my craft room window.

Finally got round to making this weeks card today...

I used the cute little mouse sat nibbling on chocolates.

I  used my usual items for colouring copic markers and polychrome colouring pencils

To the chocolate's I added glossy accents

It doesn't show very well but I tried to add extra 3d effect  by choosing parts of the chocolates and adding glossy/a  then let it dry ... then added the next section of glossy/a . So some areas of the choccies were more raised than others.

 You can just make this out on the top of the choccie with red bits.

Here I made 2 bows,  added one on top of the other ... glued a small rose on top and added a cute little  'made with love charm'.

To the bottom corner I added ribbon. Also so more beautiful little flowers.

Made a little envelope  used spellbinders  die to cut out the little greeting card. 

Inked edges and stamped sentiment.

For the inside just added papers I used on front  and a bit of same lace used.

Used a Martha Stewart punch to create the square to write your sentiment's on.

 Off to stables now to enjoy the last few rays of sunshine of the day.
