Hugs To You!

Hugs To You!

JustRite Stampers is introducing a beautiful "label" stamp set today -- Hugs To You, currently in stock and shipping:

There are all kinds of possibilities with this set, from straight stamping with colored ink, embossing, to even coloring these pretty labels . . . I chose to color!

I covered a #8 Manila Tag with some beautiful Webster's Pages Petite Spring Market Paper and then stamped the label and sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black onto some of the same background paper, then colored the gorgeous swirls with these Copic markers:

I love all the dimension this label has -- it's all one layer! I used the T1 marker around the sentiment rectangle, to make it appear layered. Stamping and coloring on patterend paper also gives a varied and multi-layered look. The three soft gray scallops on each end of the label stamp are the embossed areas from the Spellbinders Labels Ten die -- I colored them with the T1 Copic marker:

It's may be difficult to see in the photo (clicking on the photo will give you a larger view), but I made faux gemstones out of the green oval accents on each side of the sentiment. After coloring with Copic G21 marker, they were covered with Glossy Accents and Warm Highlights Microfine Transparent Glitter, to resemble sparkling gems!

The rouched ribbon accent at the bottom was achieved by sewing a straight stitch down the center of May Arts Pink wide silk ribbon and then ruffling the ribbon by pulling on that stitching. Once the ribbon was gathered up as I liked it, I used Copic's X-Press It Double-Sided High Tack tape to hold it in place.

The flower accent at the top was made with leftovers from my Elegant Frames blog post -- full instructions on how to create it are located there.

You can find more fabulous examples using this new stamp set over at the JustRite Inspiration blog today. We hope you'll join us tomorrow for the last of JustRite's March release, with a team blog hop! It will all start at the JustRite Inspiration blog tomorrow morning!
