I started with a gift bag, which led onto tags and a card......
My inspiration came from Stamplorations/Cutplorations photo..
I focused in on the red paste icing, the candles, celebration
and the black and white lace effect on the cup cake holders.
The red flowers have been stenciled with coloured embossing paste,
using two different sizes of the flower stencil.
The sentiments and candles have been die cut and layered.
The black and white lace strip at the bottom has been stamped and heat embossed.
I have used quite a few gold sequins to cover up my extra blobs of red paste!
I then wanted to make a tag for the bag....
I wanted to play with the different effects of the paste, layouts etc.
My inspiration to play with this technique came from The CAS-Mixup Challenge
which is embossing pastes and gels...
The tags have been die cut and I made a small black frame as well.
I enjoyed playing with the translucent paste
and the opaque ones to see the difference.
I now have a couple of spare tags to put on the actual presents.
I made a CAS card to go with the set.
The tag on the card is smaller than the tag on the bag.
I masked the white lace effect, stamped and heat embossed.
The completed set ...
That's all I have to do now is find a present that fits the bag!!!
It took me awhile but I enjoyed it and had fun x
Thank you so much for finding the time to stop by.
I really do appreciate it...Thank You x

Wow what a fantastic job you have done here creating this set. Love how you took inspiration from the CUTplorations photo and made it your own. Not an easy one this month. I'm hoping the STAMPloration gals will give you another win here. I sure would.
Great job Mac!! LOVE your bag, tags and beautiful card. The coloured embossing paste is so pretty ... love the red and gold together. And the tags and card are gorgeous, especially on that black card / tag bases. Love the addition of the glossy black flowers in the background. Amazing ... it was worth all the work!! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up! xx
Wonderful texture, Mac! And the black makes these so classy! Love the black embossing on the card! Glad you couldn't help yourself! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!
Wow, what an eye catching, fabulous set, Mac ... the drama of the black with the red and gold embossing is fantastic ... a brilliant contrast with the delicate lines of the white lace detailing! Thanks so much for coming by ... and for your lovely words ... I've enjoyed a delicious return visit, meandering through your recent projects! Anita :)
Beautiful rich colours and an ornate feel which is quite different to a lot of stuff I'm seeing around right now. I'm surprised you were so inspired by the photo - I had to look at it several times to work out what it was. (I thought it looked a bit like a bottom or a chinese roast duck!)
Wow Mac this is one stunning set of items - love how you have taken the inspiration image and translated it into these amazing projects.
Blessings

wow how lovely to receive this and a present! The decoration of the flowers on the bag almost looks like embroidery.
Wow, this set really packs a punch. I was instantly drawn to the beautiful bright colours on the bag and then moved on to the monochromatic pattern, what an unusual but perfect combination. I'd be thrilled to receive this amazing artwork, you're so talented! Crafty hugs, Sandra x
