Tilda with Kookaburra

Hello and thanks for visiting my blog, I have a Gift Bag that I decorated with this cute image. I colored this Tilda with Kookaburra with Copic Markers.

It is a simple White paper bag, I just glued some pretty papers and my colored image. It's really special to give a gift in a gift bag like this.

A close up on the image.

And these are the pretty flowers on the top part of the bag. I hope I inspired you to make some of these!!

LOVE

Hello and Happy Monday to you I have a card to share with you that I made a couple weeks ago. I inked up Tilda with Distress reinkers. I only used one sheet of paper and a doily on the back of the image, I hate to cover up pretty papers!

The stars around Tilda came from the Punch outs from the star tag, I hate to throw little cute things away and this was a perfect way to reuse them. I inked the edges then added some glitter.

I added some gesso on my flowers and did you see what I did to the little Angel? Yes I frantaged him and I love the look, I am always looking for ways to add new looks to my craft things.

This is a close up on the Angel. 

Here's the tag, I added some alphabet Stickers to spell out LOVE, Thanks for peeking!!
