This is my second post today, you can find my DT inspiration for Imagination Crafts here.
My first post this morning for the Pink Team at Eclectic Ellapu where May has chosen the theme of "Vintage Christmas".
I've chosen to make a tag which took me totally out of my comfort zone....and I loved every minute of it!!
Tag base is cut from burgundy Kraft Core card stock then embossed with a Cuttlebug snowflake folder. This was then sanded to reveal the kraft core and I used my distress tool round the edges then inked with vintage photo, faded jeans and pine needles distress inks and sprayed with gold Cosmic Shimmer. Image is from Anita Stamp's stamped onto kraft card with vintage photo, layered onto the burgundy Kraft Core. The dies have all been cut from waste card then either inked with distress ink and sprayed with gold cosmic shimmer or the gold ones have been inked with versamark and I've used gold metal magic to coat them...I love how they turned out and must make more use of this stuff. I also used the metal magic around the edges. Snowflakes and ovals are all from Spellbinders, sentiment is from Tattered Lace. Lace is from Crafty Ribbons. Recycled ribbon, holly and gem are from my stash.
I love how this turned out and think I may have to use it for hubby so I can keep it afterwards.
