Three of my all time favorite things, besides my customers/friends!!!, here at the Stamp House, aka, stampofexcellence.com are; Tag Art, Domino Art and Gifts! I Love, truly love to find that special treasure that will make a friend smile. Wrap it just so, so that the presentation is every bit as exciting as what waits inside, and finish it with the perfect tag!
This flowery Tootsie rolled gift was for my sweet, dear friend Shania who had a day off from kindergarten and spent it coming to visit me! I’ve missed my 5 year old girlfriend and wanted to make the visit special and fun.
To create this; the #8 tag is inked using an Inkssentials™ ink blending foam tool to apply Spun Sugar and Fried Brick Distress Ink™ by Ranger. With Jet Black Archival Ink™, also from Ranger, I imaged Jewel, 1018L, and repeatedly stamped Hey Girlfriend!, 3119D, both from stampofexcellence.com.
To add excitement to Jewel’s wardrobe, I painted her with Lumin Arte Twinkling H2Os and Gelly Roll glitter pens. To highlight and add brilliant shimmer to the finished work of art I misted the entire piece with Radiant Red Bliss Mist Radiant Shimmer from who else, stampofexcellence.com. To complete the look several different strands of fiber were looped through the hole in a larks head knot.
How simple! Two stamps, a few ink pads and paints . Extra twinkle from gell pens and Bliss Mist and I was ready to delight my young friend!
So often it’s the little things we do for others that truly makes our day brighter!
I hope your day is full of artful bliss as well!
