This post is a little late as I have been away for a few days visiting my Son and his Wife in Kent (and their new chickens) but I always like to enter the Sunday Stampers Challenge over at http://pinkleart.blogspot.com/ which is run by the wonderfully talented Hels Sheridan. The challenge is open until the weekend so there is plenty of time if you want to enter.
My entry is a tag which I have coloured with distress stains and inks and spritzed with a bit of water. The stamps and embellishments are all Tim Holtz and I added a few words to make it look a bit more interesting. I scratched the edges of the tag and added vintage photo distress ink to give it an aged look. I now have very messy fingers!
This is a (shaky) close up of the wording, some of which I covered with filmstrip:
I hope you will leave me a comment if you look at my blog, I always try to repay the visit, wherever possible. Crafty hugs, Anne x

ReplyDeleteWow, Anne, this is an impressive tag. I see you like all things Tim. I like those men and of course, the tickets. Can't get enough of them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment today. I've been a bit out of sorts due to the tornadoes that raged through my city Sat night/Sun morning. Thanks for stopping by today.
