How about a My Besties Stamped Canvas tag for your bag?

Here is yet another project i wanted to make to showcase Sherri Baldy's acrylic stamp line.  This time i've used an image that was exclusively made for Create and Craft TV, however ANY Sherri Baldy stamp would work.

To see Sherri Baldy's line of Acrylic stamps you can go to Marker Pop here or her Etsy store here, they both have different stamps to purchase.

Here is the bag i used (purchased from Michaels).

Trying something new with Sherri Baldy My Besties Stamps and Video tutorial

I wanted to try something new to interest people in doing some stamping and came across a few videos on how to stamp on cups.  I thought, ok, i will give this a try and went to my local charity shop.  I came up with a really pretty china coffee/teapot.

Here is my finished project using a Sherri Baldy's Stamp of the Month club stamp. You can join the club here.
It is not a "professional" finished job, it has more of a crafty look..and i  think it's pretty. :)


To see the process on how i finished the project you can check out my video.


 
Here are my supplies:
Charity cup/vase/teapot
Stazon ink
rubbing alcohol (to erase mistakes)
very fine point permanent markers
My Besties Stamp of the month stamp set

Basket of flowers is from Marianne dies
Lace border is a Martha Stewart punch
