Its Crafting Time DT project


 There are a fabulous range of stamps at Its Crafting Time, and personally love the IndigoBlu stamps.
I used a tag from Ranger, and inked it in victorian velvet, vintage photo and walnut stain distress inks.  I used stamps from IndigoBlu's Sewing Mends the Soul set, and coloured them in using distress markers - victorian velvet, black soot and frayed burlap, before stamping them onto watercolour paper and cutting them out.  I stained some vintage ribbon and some tulle using Victoriaan velvet, and added the tulle to the bottom of the corset.  I stamped the tape measure onto the tag using sepia archival ink, and the sentiment using black archival ink, beofre adding the images, a steampunk pair of scissors and the vintage ribbon.

 And a bit of fun ...
I love the new limited edition spring distress inks, very bright and fresh.  I have used squeezed lemonade and peacock feathers to create this tag.  I blended the 2 inks to create the green colour.  I stamped the butterflies using peacock feathers and a Unity butterfly stamp I have had for a long time.  The sentiment is also from the same set. I distressed Prima canvas resist butterflies using the inks and stained the seam binding, before adding a butterfly charm.

Gorgeous tags Cathy love the words on the first one. I have Victorian velvet and thought it was too dark but it looks a lovely pink on your tag so I must try again with it.
