A frog for Logan

27. September 2009 by admin.

Here’s a little something I whipped up yesterday for my cousin.  She just had a baby boy on Thursday and I wanted to bring something up to the hospital with us.  I stamped the frog onto a large mailing label and cut on the inside line.  Then I peeled it off and stuck it onto the prewashed onsie.  Next I sponged on lime pastel ink.  I let it dry for a few minutes before peeling the label off.  Then I stamped the frog in blue iris and stamped in over the green frog.  I left it to dry while I created the bag and card.  Then I threw it into the dryer on heavy high for over 30 minutes to heat set the ink, which makes it permanent.  Next, I ran my embossing gun over the image to to ensure that the ink was set.  The bag came from Wal-Mart in their gift section.  I cut about 3 1/2 inches off of the top using my deckle cutterpede blade.  The tag I sponged with lime pastel ink, then stamped the sentiment in blue iris.  I used my tag maker for this.  The ribbon came form my local scrapbook store.  The card is 3×3.  I used the wax paper from the label as a mask to color the frog and bag the same way as the onsie.  The blue twine is from the local scrapbook store too.  Thanks for looking and let me know what you think.

Supplies:  all stamps are snag’em by imaginisce (frog and birth announcement), all inks are from the ColorBox Petal Point chalk- primary pastel, blue bag from Wal-Mart, onsie, tag and tag maker by making memories, ribbon from local scrapbook store.
