I think it is about time that I started wrapping some gifts, so instead of a card, I'm going with a gift bag today!
This is my DT submission for the new sketch challenge over at DZ Doodles. For more details and a free digi image, be sure to check them out at either SNR or PCP.
This sketch, by Rosalien, worked out well for my gift bag, and I've made good use of the large circle by embossing and then inking with distress inks. I've given it a turn, using MS punches to create the centre panel, adding a gold peel-off and then some red ribbon.
The bag was purchased from Michaels, while the DP came from my stash drawer, (the contents never seem to go down....I must be visited by elves while I sleep!) with some stamping for a bit of added interest.
Now to the image....Holiday Break, a new DZ Doodle image that can be found here in their store. For some, this may be hot chocolate, but for me...cafe mocha with whipped cream....mmm good!! I've coloured and shaded with Prisma's, using Tombow markers on the red ribbon. Cut out with a Nestie die, then sponged with distress ink, it's then attached with pop dots for a bit of extra dimension.
So, now it's time to get cracking....I mean wrapping. I haven't noticed any elves around for that job....

Fabulous the way you have used the image to decorate the bag Joyce - such a good idea. I am so looking forward to visiting Michaels when we go to New York - it's mentioned so often in blogs.
ReplyDeleteHope the feet aren't stopping you from doing too much in the way of decorating - I got alot more done last night so hopefully tonight will see all indoors finished and then just the porch to do - but that will be very simple.
Take care - luv {brenda} xoxox
