Inky Impressions - Challenge #26

Today at the Inky Impressions Challenge blog, the challenge is to add embossing (dry or heat) and glitter or flocking to your project. So today, I have a gift bag to show you that I made for my daughter to give her teacher. Here it is:



The stamp I used is Angelica's Bunny Hugs from Inky Impressions. This stocking bag is a free template that you can download and print out from Papertrey Ink. I did increase the size just a bit when I printed it out.

Angelica and the Christmas tree were colored with copics and decorated with brads, beads, and charms. Using the Cuttlebug and swirls embossing folder, I embossed the toe and heel of the stocking and I also embossed the backside of the stocking. I sanded over the embossed swirls so that the swirls would show up better.

Here you can see Angelica a little closer:



Can you see the flocking on the bunny? I used white and brown crushed velvet flock from Doodlebugs to get a lighter brown color and applied it to the bunny - I like how it turned out. I used my scalloped oval nestabilities for the tag and a Merry Christmas rub on. The charm, ribbon, and poinsettia stickers were found at Michaels. I also added red stickles to the edges of the stocking to give it a more finished look. I found the feather boa at Joanne Fabrics. My papers are from K & Co.

Here you can see the embossing on the toe and heel:



My daughter, Christina, filled the bag with chocolates and a gift card for her wonderful teacher, Mrs. Craig. Hope she likes it.

Happy Holidays to you!
