Vintage Boutique

A quick post as I have finished the tag I was making last night (see WOYWW post below).

I coloured this Simply Sassy, Vintage Boutique, using my promarker ... the fine nibs are great for the detail on this stamp.  I distressed the edges of the image using my TH distresser and broken china, vintage pphoto and walnut stain inks.  I made the tag from Papermania kraft cardstock, and distressed the edges before stamping a Stempleglede and SU stamp around the edges.  The gears are made using a TH die and some chippy embellies I have.  I added a bit of gear work and bakers twine to the centre.  I faux stitched the tag and dp using my walnut promarker and its fine nib, and twisted some bakers twine round the dp.  Finally I added some lace and ricrac, and a photo anchor.

Challenges:
Sugar Bowl - sketch and lace
A SPoonfull of Sugar - make a tag
Try it Tuesday - steampunk
For Fun - 2 different ribbons
Tuesday Thrown down - something metallic (brad and grommet)

And here is Jack ... being errrr ... helpful!!!

Wonderful creation! Exactly HOW MUCH of this creation did Jack do? LOL When my Sam was a pup, he used to curl up on my desk beside my computer. Since he now 9, he sits on the chair beside me... thanks for sharing with us at For Fun Challenges!
