I really enjoyed the themes expressed in the title, so have decided to make a second entry for some of the challenges.
Crafty Cardmakers - Distressed
Theme Thursday - Vintage
Crafty Ann's Challenge - No. 14, Anything Goes
Stamp Simply - Mothers Day
The image is a Stempelglede image, Maribel, from UnikScrap. However, I have just discovered that Quixotic Paperie are going to be stocking Stempelglede . Hooray!! - - just means I might end up spending more money because they are in the UK!!
I have stamped with Rangers Black Archival ink on to Clarity Silk card to get a photolike image. I then tinted the image with distress inks. The frame was cut with a nestie. The background papers are from the Decadent Brocade CD by Artylicious, which can be purchased from Graphicus. Such beautiful papers on the Artylicious CDs I do wonder sometimes why I purchase other DP, but I just love paper.
Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, and the lace and pearls from stash.
Thanks for stopping by. I really appreciate your comments.
