Its another Anything Goes challenge at LTSCB

Welcome-welcome! It's the middle of August which means back to work for me. I work at a school, so when it starts so do I LOL!

For this challenge I am working with the SLS Lines image Little boy and snowman with Christmas Tree. I thought this was a really cute little scene and couldn't wait to play with it. As usual, since it is anything goes I am trying to stay away from the traditional cardmaking. I decided do a gift bag with tag instead. I started with a plain kraft gift bag and added color using Copics R27 and YG63. I sprayed the color onto the bag using a hand-held air spritzer that you squeeze. It makes my hand hurt but gives a nice covering. I then sprayed the bag with Mr. Huey Shine spritz for the white spots and overall glimmer.

Here is what the finished product looks like:

 The tag:

 

To make the double-sided tag I printed one image regular and then printed it again as a mirror image. It is the same image I just cut around the boy and snowman because I wanted it to look different than the bag.
I made the red ribbon by coloring white sheer organza ribbon with my R27 copic. I made the bows using my Bow It All v2 by Zutter. The image sheet on the bag is popped with foam squares. I cut a second image of just the boy and snowman with some of the snow and popped them as well.

Supplies:
Kraft gift bag
Paper: DCWV The Christmas Stack
Copics: R22, R24, R 27, E000, E00, E11, YG61, YG63, YG67, E71, E74, E77, G21, G29
Stamps: Digi image Little Boy and Snowman with Tree, To and From (Close to My Heart Its a Party set)
Stickles: Red and Patina for boy and Snowman, Purple, Gold, Yellow, Red for tree
Inks: Distress Tumbled Glass and Close To My Heart (can't remember the shade of green)
Misc: Martha Stewart Around the Page punch, Paper Blossom Pine Branch punch, white Flower Soft, Organza Ribbon, jute bakers twine, foam tape    

This was a fun bag. I have never taken on this kind of task before and I did enjoy it. The coloring was the most time consuming thing but I was very pleased with how everything turned out.
