Puppy Love


Designed2Delight
has a new digistamp for Valentine's Day, if you are a dog. I'm not a dog (well, don't ask my husband, he might tell you what kind of dog I am), but I did need a rustic image to go with my Brown-Bagging background:



This is part of a set of ATCs for the TJ ATC swap. Instead of plain brown bags, I used the Trader Joe's wine bags that have pink and white floral wine bottles and glasses printed on them. I love those bags. I think half the reason I buy wine there is to get the bags (the other half is the price - Trader Joe's is cheap!). The Mod Podge that I used to glue the bits of bag down darkened the pink nearly to red, but that is okay by me - I didn't really like that shade of pink anyway. The challenge is Love (Liebe) at Fun with ATCs - this definitely fits!

Hello juliet... hope you are well.
Love the wine bags.... we dont get them here in the uk, wish we did!
You left a comment on CORROSIVE about using a digi to etch metal.... dead easy... print out the image to size required, lay it on to your metal on a foam mat and gently trace around it.
take the paper image away and you'll have a faint image... work it deeper from the back first just so you get all the detail, then work as you would with a 'normal' stamped image from both sides til your happy with the result. Its simple but effective but you do need clean lined digi stamps.... this was my 1st time with a stretch and bubble image, i usually use digi stamps from 'teris delicious doodles'.... fantasic images and so effective on metal... you can find her site via tuesday taggers on my side bar.... sorry i cant do links, i am a total techno idiot!!!!
If you ever fancy swapping atcs with me... i'd love too!
Keep safe happy crafting lynx

Love how the brown bag turned out --- helps if you don't use a brown bag I guess. I could sure use some Two Buck Chuck here, we have NO trader joes, no whole foods, just oranges oranges oranges - and I don't even like oranges.
However,... I am Still waiting to see you post a gorgeous California sunset --- maybe with a wine bottle in the foreground???
