Altered Bag With Magnolias

Good Wednesday morning everyone, i hope you are all well. I've another newbie from me and it's stamping onto a canvas bag. I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp the images and i used Magnolia's 'Tilda and Edwin on Ice', 'Midwinter Tilda', 'Ice Tilda' and 'Lovely Home' all available from Here. I coloured them with Tim Holtz Distress Markers and Promarkers. Added some lovely lace, a beautiful ribbon bow and a home decorated pin, die cut Poinsettia with flowers and a leaf. All finished off with chipboard letters and present and lot's of sparkle. I probably should have ironed the crease out but i don't do ironing, hubby does, lol!!

TOP TIP - When stamping onto a canvas bag remember to place something inside like card or as i did a magazine so that the ink and markers don't go onto the reverse of the bag.
