Hello! I created this tag to participate in Gerda Steiner Designs February Share Your Designs Challenge. I am using a Gerda Steiner Digital Stamp Freebie called Coffee Mouse. I had this printed on Neenah Solar White card stock. I colored the image with Akashiya Sai watercolor brush pens. This color medium did not work with the Neenah for me. I had difficulty blending the colors.
I die cut a kraft card stock using a tag die from The Stamp Market. This set also comes with the die that will create the holes for stitching. The holes created were not large enough for the area that I want to stitch on so I ran the tag with this die twice, making sure I lined the hole to the cutting die. I stitched the end holes using a red DMC floss, just to create an outline. I added cross stitching to the bottom of the outline.
I cut a gold foil, large enough to cover the sentiment included on the digital image. I covered the sentiment with the foil, sandwiched this inside a typing paper, and fed it through the Minc machine. I didn't get good foil coverage on my first try. After I repositioned the foil, I fed this again through the Minc machine without much change in results. There is some shimmer. I was just hoping to have all of the sentiment foiled.
I cut the digital stamp panel small enough to fit inside the stitched frame. I adhered this to the tag. I die cut another kraft card stock, and adhered this to the back of the stitched tag to cover the holes and the taped ends of the floss.
I layered a small sequin heart on the cup. I triple tied a bow using a twine and adhered this to the top of the tag.
Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
