And I made a second, similar, card for my stash.
There was so much put into this project. I used distress inks (and sprays) for all the coloring - mostly vintage photo and the new speckled egg. The "sewing" is from a stamp set that another friend gave me. The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions. The flower is stamped and embossed, and colored. The green leaves are from a Tim Holtz die cut set. I "distressed" the edges of the watercolor cardstock. The tags were cut from pattern paper. Ribbon from Stampin Up was "worn" with some distress ink. There is a deco edge of paper created with a Martha Stewart punch. Phew! 😀
I had a blast doing this -- I'd work on it, and leave it. Then work on it and leave it - and so on. Then I saw these two challenges -- to use a tag on your project. And the whole thing finally came together.
- A Vintage Journey Tag You're It - It's not a stand alone tag. So I'm not sure that it qualifies for this challenge. But I wanted to share.
- Just Add Ink - Just Add T - Tag starts with T.
I don't usually craft in this style. But I saw this card by Stacy at Tattered Nest Designs and fell in love with it. And felt a need to try something like this.
Will I do another one like this? I don't know. So many ideas and projects. . . so little time.
Thanks for stopping by to take a look. Until next time, stay safe.
