I took cardstock paper and stamped it with bleach! I then spattered it with a little gold and then some white. I sprayed it with clear satin acrylic spray and sprinkled it with glamour dust (super fine glitter)
I cut them up and rounded the corners.
I LOVE how the stars look shaded on one side! Not sure how that works, but it does and it's awesome :)
I don't make cards or keep a scrapbook so this was a new and fun technique for me. It may be old news to the paper wizards out there, but I wanted to share in case somebody would like to try.
Here is a blue one on a little hand sewn gift bag. I printed out the snowman I painted last week onto printable fabric and then stitched it onto some wool fabric. I think these would make great Gift Card packages too! Since they're tied with a ribbon, they can easily be used over and over again!
Well, I better jump in the shower. I'm off to fight the crowds and get extremely irritable today. God be with me :)
Have a wonderful weekend friends!

Love your little art bag, so very cute! The spraying and stamping stars shows so proffessional. I nice and perfect compliment to you're snowman.
These are soooo cool, Darla! I admire all of you who make your own gift bags, gift tags, wrapping paper, etc. I'm lucky if I make the gift and get it sent out on time... Hope you had fun today!! Hugs, Silke
This is so cute! I have been planning on experimenting with bleach. Do you think it would keep eating away at the paper?
These are perfect Darla!! They'll be so pretty on your Christmas gifts!
Been away for a bit but finally have time to catch up! Love the tags! I'll have to try them. thanks!
Darla, what time zone do you live in? Somewhere with a lot more hours in the day than I have! That gift bag is REALLY, really sweet!
