A Gift For You

*** updated 11.45pm 21st February ***
My tags are finished and I now have some photos to share.
Sending apologies to Lou and the rest of the Southern Girls Design Team.

It's time for another challenge with us at the Southern Girls.

This fortnight Team Lou have created projects to inspire you for the new challenge


Our generous sponsors for this challenge are:

Avery Elle

Krafters Cart

Stampers Delights

Today I have used the Chibi A Gift 4 U Boy digital stamp by Stampers Delightsone of our generous sponsors this fortnight, to make a birthday gift card tag.

I opened the Chibi A Gift 4 U Boy digital stamp and cut file (details & link below) and sized the image to fit on the front of the tag (instead of the Christmas Tree).   I printed the image on X-Press It blending card, heat set, cut with my Silhouette Cameo, then coloured with Copic markers.  I typed the sentiment in a fun font, (details & link below) curved it to fit within the top layer of the banner cut file, printed then cut with my Cameo.  I cut the base and layered sentiment then adhered the layers using liquid adhesive and finished it off with several strands of twine.

"life" gets in the way of even the best laid plans

My tags are finished and I now have some photos to share.
Sending apologies to Lou and the rest of the Southern Girls Design Team.

My hands are not co-operating very well at the moment, so I started colouring two image panels to make sure that I ended up with a "mistake free" project to share.  Luckily both panels were completed without any "oops", so of course I had to make a second gift card tag.


   

Here is the light blue tag with the pale orange accents.


Here is the bright blue tag with bright orange accents.


The tags have a pretty front panel and there are notches inside (left) to tuck a gift card.  I created a second panel to mat inside the tag, so that I can write a sentiment.



Did you notice that I used the name of the digital image as my sentiment?

NOW it's YOUR turn!

I hope that I have inspired you to get creative

    1. Thank You Michelle. I am sorry for my confusion, I thought my lighter shade was the same as the colour palette. I went to remove my tag but see that you have already deleted it.
