Time for some STAMPlorations inspiration. I've been customising things, in particular this bottle carrier that I bought on Etsy as part of a friend's birthday present. I used the Sketchy Alphabet stamp set, and after a bit of trial and error (on scrap paper!) I got the stamps lined up on a long acrylic block, with gaps for the missing Es and Rs, then stamped in the gaps.
Here's the reverse side of the carrier:
I used Ranger Archival Coffee - looks like it's been burnt in. (I used to do woodburning many years ago, still got the tools.) I gathered the carried up in cellophane and tied it all at the top with string instead of ribbon for a rustic look. The recipient was delighted :)
Pop on over to the STAMPlorations blog for some more fabulous inspiration from the Design Team. Don't forget to leave a comment for your chance to win a $10 gift certificate.
Well, who wouldn't be delighted at that fabulous gift! Great idea!!! So much easier than wood burning, I guess! Prost!
ReplyDeletethis is a fun idea.
