I can't believe it is December already! We have a new challenge at the Craft Stamper Take It, Make It site with wonderful prizes to be won. For December the challenge is to stamp in white on your project. I decided gift tags are something useful and the white looks great against the kraft colored paper. You can cut your own tags with a die or buy tags that are pre-cut. Whatever you have on hand.
For the first tag I stamped with Stampers Anonymous Butterfly stamp on kraft paper using Adirondack Snow Cap ink and then I used Detail White embossing powder. After heating it with my heat gun and allowing it to cool, I did some random stamping with an IndigoBlu crackle stamp and StazOn black ink. I also colored in the butterfly wings a little with Memento markers in yellow and red. I tore the edges of the paper, glued it on to a black shipping tag and doodled around the edges with a Uniball White gel pen. Even with a ribbon on the top I think this tag has a very masculine feel to it. You can write your message on the back using the white pen. Here are a couple more tags using the same technique.
These are both done on Ranger #8 Kraft tags using the same stamping technique.
I'll have more samples next Friday with the same technique. I hope this inspires you to try your hand at the CS TIMI Challenge! Take care, stay warm ~ Hugs, Renee
