Good morning! Thank you so much for hopping by for the Reverse Confetti/My Sweet Petunia blog hop. We are celebrating all things spring with creations using products from both of these amazing companies. I created an Easter gift bag for the occasion and will explain what products I've used in just a bit.
In celebration of this FUN hop, two lucky commenters from the hop will be selected to win one of two prizes: a $60 shopping spree at www.mysweetpetunia.com and a $60 shopping spree at www.Reverseconfetti.com- you must leave your comments no later than Sunday, March 25th, at 11:59 PM Central time and winners will be announced on Tuesday March 27th, on the Reverse Confetti and My Sweet Petunia blogs.
For my gift bag, I began with the Small Diamond Tiles Cover Panel from Reverse Confetti. After die cutting it from Polar cardstock, I cut a solid block of Piggy Bank cardstock to fit the backside, and using adhesive around the sides and bottom edges, secured the two layers together and made a pocket/gift bag.
I then used the Scalloped Squares Confetti Cuts to create my focal point, using paper from the 6x6 Fun Times Paper Pad and Polar cardstock. I chose to use a sentiment from the Easter Blessings stamp set, stamping in Olive. I used my MISTI stamping tool to create a nice, solid image...love that you can ink your sentiment or image after each time stamping with it, and it will stay positioned so that as you layer on more ink, it becomes bold and perfectly stamped.
Next, I added florals from the Banner in Bloom stamp set, and used my MISTI once again, this time stamping on watercolor cardstock using watermark ink. I then heat embossed using white embossing powder and added color through ink blending. Next came a bit of water to give it a water-color look, and then I added color using Zig Clean Color Markers and a few embossing enamel splatters.
