Cards and Kings

Here is the tag I started on Tuesday night and that features, along with my Miffy cat (helping!!), on my WOYWW post yesterday.

The background is distressed using weathered wood, fired brick, aged mahogany and black soot DIs, and a crackle background stamp from IndigoBlu.  I printed the playing card off the internet and distressed it using weathered wood DI andthe ghosting technique with some vintage photo DI, before applying the cracked glass technique to it for that aged look. The TH ticket dies have been cut from grungeboard, painted and distressed before applying rock candy crackle paint.  I used a TH alphabet soup set of grunge letters for the CARDS and painted them black before crackle painting them.  I stamped elements from a couple of stamp sets, including some crowns before assembling it all. Finally a crown charm painted in antique brass crackle paint tied with some twine.

Simon Says Stamp and Show - kings and queens
Creative Inspirations - a tag
