Inking It Up Birthday Week Guest Designer

I get the priviledge of being a guest designer this week for Kassidy at Inking It Up Crazy.  The theme this week is Birthday.  Make sure to check out her blog to see all the awesome projects everyone has made to inspire you for those birthdays that come along quite often.  My assignement was to create some birthday packaging.

Here is my project: In keeping with my blog name "Scrappin on a Dime" I chose to  reuse a gift bag that had writing on it. I covered up the writing and no one will ever know!





Used bling for the eyes, gel pen to outline the beak, wings and letters.
Also inked up the embossed topper.

Love these rosettes. A little bit of a pain to make but so worth it!
Don't you think?



Had to fiddle with this cut a little to get what I wanted but it worked.  Love it!
I also used the gel pen here.  I love the sparkle the gel pen gives.
