Look Ma! I'm blogging!

Happy March 1st, everyone!

It's release day over at So Suzy Stamps.  Make sure you check out all the new goodies in the shop!

Today I'm featuring three of the new March stamps on this gift tag: Rose Bloom, Dot Splatter, and Gift For You


I stamped the Rose Bloom onto Bristol smooth surface paper using Tattered Rose and Bundled Sage distress inks.  I then used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and a paintbrush and water to color the image.  I seem to have better control with the amount of water when I use a brush rather than when using a waterbrush.

Once my image was dry, I used an embossing pen to draw in some highlight areas on a few of the petal edges, then heat embossed them with gold embossing powder.  I fussy cut the finished flower with my PenBlade.




For my tag, I used a two die cut tags (from Tag Sale #10 - Papertrey Ink), one in a solid coordinating pink, they other in white.  On my white tag, I stamped the Dot Splatter stamp several times at the bottom with embossing ink and also heat embossed with gold powder.  I also embossed the sentiment in black powder.  I then added my colored rose image to the bottom of the tag, and used a piece of cotton twine to attach my two tags to my gift bag!

I hope you enjoyed this post.  Feel free to comment and say hello!  
Happy shopping!
