Cute back-pack tutorial

So I found this back-pack in the dollar spot at Target, and since Kendall has a pen-pal {"hi Emily"} I thought this would be a fun craft for us to do & send to her.  I only found one of these in the dollar spot, so go to Target and find one before they are gone.

Get out your favorite stamps, and Pigment ink.  I used Palette because it is an all purpose craft ink, and its waterproof, so the ink will not wash out.  

I repeated stamping the flower until I was happy with the look of it, the ink I used is Berry Sorbet by Palette sold through Papertrey Ink.

I wanted to personalize the bag, using her name.  I start by stamping in the center of the bag, so everything is space and centered just right.  I don't use a ruler, I just eye-ball it.  I stamped her name in black stazon ink.  Again you want to use a permanent ink.

After I inked the flowers and her name, I wanted to wow it up a litttle, so I used Palette L'Amore Red ink, to randomly stamp the flowers again in the red and give it a little dimension.

To make her name a focal piece, I used a flourish, inked it up with black stazon, and stamped it under her name.

Something seemed to be missing so I stamped the flower and flourish to create a border at the bottom, to finish it off.

Here you go, a $1 draw string back-pack personalized and ready to be mailed out to Emily.  I think these would be perfect for any kid, or even as party favors, there are so many things you can do with these bags, and it was a fun an easy project to do with my daughter.
