I am so excited about this project. I completed most of it awhile ago but did not want to post it until I gave it away.. I wanted it to be a surprise. I am loving this image from Whimsie Doodles. It is so cute. It is called Snow Friends. It is a digi image. I downloaded the image and then enlarged it to 6 x 6. Then I printed the image out on white fabric. (I use double sided tape to adhere the fabric to the paper and then sent it through the printer.) I colored it with Copics. I very carefully colored it because it does tend to bleed. Light strokes work best. I purchased the bag at Hobby Lobby. I then added a border and used fusible webbing to fuse it to the bag. You could stitch it too. Inside the bag I stuck in some "snow" goodies (a snow background stamp, some sparkle snow glitter, a fabric envelope with pink ribbon inside). My friend has all boys in her house and she needs some pink. I then created a card with the same image..
My friend Holly has an awesome tutorial on how to print on fabric... Check it out HERE.
The sweet little snowman is so easy to make.. Just strips of fabric sewn together, some stuffing, then tie up the top with the ribbon. I added the tag from this sweet set to the ribbon.
This is what inspired me:
These sweet Magnolia bags arrived in my mailbox before Christmas. They were made by my friend Michelle and her mom.. Michelle stamped the images and her mom sewed the two pouches and colored the images. She used a fabric medium on the images so the coloring would be permanent. I am going to have a hard time using them because they are so special to me. Michelle is one of those special stamping friends... You know the kind....She has blessed my life in many ways...
I am really looking forward to being a part of this design team. Lots of great things coming up so stay tuned.
I am adding this to the Digital Tuesday Challenge.. To create a Winter Scene with some sparkling snow.. I added flowersoft to the card but it is hard to tell in the photo..
Have a blessed day,
