Here is the actual challenge badge (I love HLS's badges...)
Supplies and notes:
- As usual, I started out with an old library card that I was using for some technique practice. I found this cool tutorial (@ Bumblebees and Butterflies) on Pinterest and decided I'd play a little... so much fun! I didn't stray far from the tutorial instructions, and I encourage you all to check the page out!
- I made the trees by cutting up a scrap page I was testing my Aged Mahogany Distress Stain on, and I splattered them with some Aged Bronze Distress Stain
- I used the following Distress Paints: Antique Linen, Bundled Sage, and Spiced Marmalade.
- The purple seam binding is from my stash-- I selected it to bring out the old date stamps.
- The brad is Recollections
- The modeling paste is Teresa Collins
- The pom-poms were from my stash
What a genius idea to use the library card as your base! Wonderful design and those pom poms are fun! Awesome sauce! ~Niki
ReplyDeleteI had the same reaction that Niki had above--how darn clever to use a library card for a tag! This really is such a fun card...and I've had a look-see through your latest posts--wow! you are one creative chick! I particularly love the one with the gold embossing around the edges...teee heee! 2 great minds think alike! !!! Thank you for your comment on my blog! It made my day to see a new face! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh I just bought an embossing plate with this design and was working it up MM style last night! Great minds. Unfortunately the link didn't work for me, said blocked webpage. I just love how you've used the tree cut outs here - super design! I tried to email you, but said nonreplyblogger. Boo hoo! Was going to say thanks so much for you support. My wee guy is all better and I pray we will have no more scares like that! Super stressful, but this week is looking up. Hugs, Autumn
ReplyDeleteThis tag feels both modern and aged. Modern due to the design and colors of the trees. Aged due to the tag base, paste and ink. A good looking combo!
