I was inspired by the row of gifts and pondered on Jenni's Muse card for the last few days. I have the die she used, but I didn't want to copy her card. Then I found these little gift stamps when I was looking for images for the MFT sketch and an idea was born :)
I stamped, cut and colored the gifts with Copics and popped them up on foam tape. I colored the bows black to match the Muse card. I wanted to have the sentiment bold and black and under the gifts like the Muse card, but I also wanted to use the black and white striped paper because, well, it's black and white striped paper! In the end, I used the negative die cut cut from black cardstock and adhered that to the pattered paper for a different look.
Thanks for visiting.
