Todays Take-Off is a bit obscure. No picture of inspiration. But I have seen a lot of tea towels around lately and thought in honor of gift week, I could use the inspiration to make my own. So, I dug out the stamps and made up these dishtowels:
Here it is! I think this would be SUCH a great hostess gift for the summer. Imagine a basket full with some fresh grown produce and these little babies. I would LOVE to get this as a gift!
The images are the Farmer Market stamps from Basic Grey (OffBeat line) That is the radish and the images on the card. The peas on the second towel are Papertrey Ink. I had started with that first and had forgotten I just got the Basic Grey stamps in the mail! Next time I will use images from the same set!
So that's it. Nifty Gifty Take-Off Tuesday. Hope you like it! As far as a how-to, just remember when you are stamping on fabric you MUST use fabric or hybrid ink. You cannot use a dye ink because it will wash out. I used Palette and Papertrey Ink Hybrid inks. Then you want to heat set the images for about 30 seconds with an iron. And Enjoy!
Thanks for stopping by today! So glad you joined me. Come back tomorrow to see my 365 Card Challenge (its so fun!). Plus I will have another nifty-gifty for ya.
