This week's theme over at
Crafting Time this week is buttons and bows. I instantly thought of haberdashery and sewing ...
I covered a square peice of white cardstock in
Tim Holtz tissue tape and then distressed it using
aged mahogany and vintage photo distress inks. The elements from the Tim Holtz stamp set were stamped onto cardsock using
black archival ink and distressed using
spiced marmalade, fired brick and aged mahogany distress inks before being cut out. I added this fab
ball trim ribbon, a
button that I stained in
cranberry and red pepper alcohol ink, and some little bows to finish.
I also made a collage tag using the same stamp set.
Having stamped some of the elements in
brushed corduray and fired brick distress inks, I distressed the tag using
tea dye, vintage photo and aged mahogany distress inks. I stamped the manikin in
aged mahogany distress ink and added a bow. The wooden button was roughly stained with a
ged mahogany distress ink and some twine threaded through and tied into a bow. Finally I added some of that fab
ball trim ribbon, and some seam binding stained in
aged mahogany distress ink.
And as I am thinking about buttons and bows ... I love simple, quick, embossed cards ...
I used my sizzix embossing folder to create the texture for this card. The mannikin is a freebie stamp from a craft magazine, and I cut it out. I added some flat backed pearls, black gingham, a big bow with a button at the centre and a pin. Very simples.

Saw you at Make it Monday and stop by to see what you're up to.
I love your card, expecially vintage background paper. I haven't tried stamping yet, I only use digi stamps for now. But I think I'll give it a try soon. I try not to spend too much in craft store (as I'm new at paper crafting and I don't have many supplies yet), but I think I'll buy some bigginers stamping supplies next time I go shopping :-)
Happy crafting. Best regards from Slovenia. K XXX
