Hello again, here's my second PaperArtsy inspired by Joanne Wardle project. Joanne made a gift bag from an envelope and a tag. Joanne's was for Christmas and mine is for my mum's birthday next week, as it's perfect for one of her gifts. I think I'm more excited for her than she is lol. I started with a 10 x 8 inch envelope and used a Martha stewards punch across the top.
Then using the fabulous JOFY STAMPS 12 and 13 by Paperartsy I've stamped directly onto the envelope and then the flowers again onto book pages and painted with light and dark turquoise colours. I've then glued these directly onto the stamped images on the bag itself. The rest has had a quick colour with Distress markers. To colour up the bag itself I've used distress ink. The tag I've done in a similar way so all matches. I've punched holes in bag and tag and tied ribbon through.
