As it is Mother’s Day in the US on May 12th
we have had a challenge to give you some ideas for Mother’s Day gifts and cards
but they could be used for the special Mum in your life all year round.
I decided to make a gift tag for a bottle of Molton
Brown shower gel/bath bubbles. I used the colour of the Heavenly Gingerlily to
guide me towards my colour choices of bronze, brown and cream. The image is called
Relax
and is from BB
Kakes.
I coloured the image in using Promarkers and
Flexmarkers, fussy cut and added 3d foam for dimension. Please note that the
wine of choice is red. Nothing like having a long hot soak in the bath with
some quality reading material and a bottle of plonk J
For the tag I used the Grace Die from Crafters
Companion which produced the pretty frame from some pearlescent bronze
cardstock. The gold mat is cut from metallic card using a second part of the
die which also embosses the panel. I tied a near perfect bow from some spotty
ribbon and used some rustic textured string which is recycled from a gift
package. I added lots of stickles glitter to make the bubbles pop and added a tag
sentiment from When The Scrap Hits The Fun.
I don’t make tags very often but had fun making this
and really ought to do more. Afterall when we go to so much trouble to make a
gorgeous card it is such a shame when the gift packaging lacks that special
something too.
