For my "nice" version, I created a page with several of the stamp brush images. The image comes in one color, so I used the color brush tool to add multiple colors to the image, just like you would color on a stamp with markers for multiple colors. I LOVE this tool! It's easy to get carried away—I was coloring everything and trying out all different colors! Fun! You can learn how to color images with this short video: Stamp Image Coloring.
Once I had the image colored the way I wanted, I copied and pasted so it was 8-up on a printable page. You can have your pages professionally printed, but I simply printed them to my own printer, then cut them out by hand.
I mounted the tag onto Cherry Cobbler card stock, then added some Dazzling Diamonds glitter with a 2-Way Glue Pen. Now, it's ready to tie on my present with the Gumball Green Stitched Satin Ribbon.
I did a second "naughty" version by applying a Midnight Muse background, and coloring the stamp Very Vanilla. I added some background texture with some black stamps from the Extreme Elements stamp brush set. I printed out this sheet, too, but I bet it about killed my blue ink cartridge!
This version is mounted on Midnight Muse card stock and also given some sparkle with Dazzling Diamonds glitter. It's tied with a Midnight Muse Stitched Satin Ribbon. I love the color of this one!
