Friday Feature-Gelatos & fabric

I've just gotten some gelatos.  Wanted to give them a try.

The gift bag was plain white.

I started by drawing some circles with yellow, grey and pink.

To activate them, you use water.  I used my aqua painter and "painted" the background.

 

My second step was to use my script stamp and brown archival ink.

I then took a small stamp (it came with my set of gelatos) and stamped randomly with pigment inks.

I used yellow & pale green.

 To make my flowers, I collaged fabric onto a packaging envelope (pulled out of the trash) then ran it thru my big shot using a Stampin Up die.  I distressed the edges with Tim Holtz Vintage photo ink.  Added some pearl embellishments for the centers.  The leaves were cut with my cricut.

 As always, I wanted to bring in something vintage-so I layered string pearls, lace & ribbon to tie my tag to the handle.

 I attached my flowers with dimensionals.  If you've ever used them-they stick really well.

Hope this will inspired you to make your own gift bag.

As always-you can get most of these supplies from our shop @ Outlaw Women Scrapbook Emporium -the prices are ALWAYS 20-25% lower than retail. 

Thanks for stopping by!!  Have a blessed Friday!
