I am always sponging or using my daubers to finish edges on my projects and this example is a perfect reason why I love to do this . It really is sooo simple and adds so much to all your projects ..
For my Top note die Christmas tag I think it really makes it more rich looking and just brings it all together, and you can tell by the other photo just how plain it was before I added the Chocolate chip classic ink to the edges with my sponge. I then added Alpine ribbon and frayed the edges a little bit at the ends . What a Cute way to decorate your Christmas packages .
Supplies I used were :
Top note bigz Die # with
Sahara Sand card stock #105328.
The stamp set is Winter Post # 111780
from the Holiday mini along with
Alpine ribbon # 113100
from the Holiday mini as well I added a Jumbo Eyelets ( Pewter ) # 108432 with my Crop-a-dile # 108362.
I used SU! sponges ( 3 in pack cut in 1/4 wedges ) #101610
for the edges with Chocolate chip classic ink . and then used the Color spritzer tool # 107066 with the Chocolate chip marker #100071 ( Video is coming soon on this tool stampers ~ stay tuned ) to add a little speckle to my gift tag
(You may have to click on photo to enlarge to view the speckles since it doesn't show up very well here )
I also wanted to let you know that I have DVD #11 & # 12 available now click HERE for more details
Thanks for peeking in today .
Until later.. Happy Stampin!
