Hi everyone and happy Sunday!
I hope you enjoy your weekend as much as I do - and I hope this post goes online, since it's scheduled (because I'm away for a dogs workshop over the weekend :) )
I'm super excited to tell you that Let's Ink It Up is back and running again!
The lovely Suzanne has chosen a new design team and we are launching our first (well actually the #16, but the first after the break) challenge today! :)
The theme for the month of October is
THINK PINK
(in support of breast cancer awareness)And we have an awesome sponsor for this months challenge:
'Mad 4 Markers'
And the prize is a Copicendium and a stamp
*wow*
I created a bag topper using a Magnolia Heart and a sweet Mini Tilda which I got as a RAK from my super sweet internet friend Christina, who not only is sweet, supportive and generous but she also makes the most gorgeous Magnolia and Hanglar Stanglar cards! You really should hop over to her blog and ENJOY her wonderful, stunning creations :)
Ok... back again onto my bag topper for the Let's Ink It Up Challenge
This is really easy to make: I die cut a label 1 from Spellbinders Nestabilities and then folded it in half.
I stamped the heart and Mini Tilda on thick watercolor paper, colored both with Tombows and cut them out trimming closely to set them onto the half label with foam tape for some interest and dimension.
To finish it, I tied a mini ric rac ribbon around the label/topper and adhered a little bling flower from Hero Arts to it.
Finally, I adhered the topper to a cellophan bag full of gorgeous crinkled seam binding from Sew Sweet with two little strips of doublesided adhesive... done!
As said before - pretty easy :)
I hope you will join us in this fun challenge that will run through the whole month of October!
Can't wait to see what you will come up with!
