Make sure you read to the very end as I am offering a prize here on my blog for everyone who leaves a comment.  Okay....I could be selfish and say that you have to follow me too but I won't do that although I would love it if you did!!!  :)  Okay...just a mini plug for me!  Okay, on to my project.  I have used this adorable stamp called "Starry Night"......
Isn't this just the cutest!?!  I have stamped my image onto this little onesie and then colored it with my Copics.  I have used some puffy paint on the fur of the hat and the ear muffs.  I have also used some Viva Decor Glitter Gel for the snow and it looks so awesome!  It took me forever to gather up the nerve to actually put stamp to material!!  I was having some serious anxiety attacks!!!  LOL!!

I have had a few of you ask if it is washable and yes....it should be washable.  I'm going to wash it today to see if the ink runs at all.  I used Memento ink to stamp my image and then used my iron (set to cotton) and heat set it.  I did handwash another onesie that I had heatset and the ink stayed on.  From what I've heard the Copics are washable and the 3D gel was washable too.  I'll let you know after I wash it!!  :)  OMGosh...now I'm holding my breath again!!!  :)



So...what do you think!?!  Leave me a comment and I will give the winner a $10 gift certificate to Phindy's Place!!
 Phindy has some really awesome digi images!!  I will have my hubby draw a name from the hat for the winner and it will be posted here on Tuesday December 7th so check back because you don't want to miss out if your the winner do you!?!  :)

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you have enjoyed our Holiday Blog Hop!!!

**UPDATE**
After washing I did have some color fading on my onesie and I guess you have to use cotton socks (my DIL couldn't find any) because I had some serious yellow bleeding on them.  Everything else stayed put.  For no longer than what they are in them I think it will hold up.


This is stamped with Memento ink and then heat set.
I should have set up my photo box because our day is so gloomy here today that the lighting on this picture isn't the greatest.


Have a good one!!

Tammy, thanks so very much for this tutorial. I also have that fear, so I stamp on a separate piece of fabric - we are making aprons for my niece today.
This is just the idea I needed for the dolly clothes I make - I ran out of ideas for decaring the plain ones! Thanks, girl!
Oh, and by the way, I became a follower....

This is just so darn cute.
I would be nervous about doing this as well.. Do you have to seal it with anything to allow for cleaning?
Thank you for sharing, the recipient if you are going to let it go will look adorable in it.

Well what an amazing project Tammy, just adorable!
I reckon the only thing you could do for digi is trace it with a permanant marker pen onto the onesie. I use a Pigma pen on fabric when I want permanent

Shirley said...

OMG Tammy, these are beautiful. Made me want to run right out and buy up a bunch of onseies to try this on. I think it washed really well.

Anna R said...

Hi Tammy!

That's absolutely gorgeous!! Did you wash it beforehand to remove the "sizing"?? I wonder if that makes a difference with fading.

I don't know about using digis on a onesie, but I'm going to try printing them on those special sheets of fabric and then make into a quilt.
Glad to hear the copics didn't run.

Trina said...

Tammy, this is too cute!! I will have to try this one day...

This is so cute! Try Staz On or Crafters Ink they will heat set and stay on through washings.
