Hello everyone ....well the sun has been shining here today, maybe just maybe the weather is changing in time for summer! Whatcha ya think?
Me .... I've been in the depths of distress today .... Distress Inks that is, I've been like a pig in s**t errrr a blanket lol .....good ole grungy distress.
I've used Vintage Photo, Gathered Twigs & Walnut Stain to cover the manilla cardstock, the stamps (all Tim Holtz Road Trip set) have been inked with Archival Ink (Coffee). I used theTim Holtz Alterations Harlequin Border Decorative Strip Die with Glassine Paper & cardstock from the Destinations pad. Throw in some water using the spritz & flick technique, some Perfect Pearl Mists (Blue Patina & Biscotti) and some Ideaology and voila lol.
This tag fits the themes over at Simon Says Stamp & Show and The Sunday Stampers
You wouldn't believe the mess one little tag could make ... off to clear some space (again).
Thank for taking the time to stop by and leave me a comment, as always it is greatly appreciated.
