Tag a Day project #8

Well, there I am again with yet another tag. I know I missed a few days because other things came in between, but I am still determined to get this finished, which is not hard as I am enjoying the process and that was what this project was all about, so here goes: - No 8
This one is much simpler than some of the previous ones, probably as close to Clean And Simple as I will ever get.... Background was a mix of Distress Paints and Inks, Antique Linen, Bundled Sage and Frayed Burlap, stenciled with a mix of Crafters Workshop stencils and a bit of stamping with the Tim Holtz Papillon background stamp.
The main stamp is another La Blanche, here you can see a further detail of this stamp:

A Prima embellie, some old lace and a pen nib

And finally, some Type Writer keys and chit chat stickers by way of a sentiment and there you have it.....

In a way I was practising some techniques for a bigger DT project that I may show some time next week, we'll see where that goes. Meanwhile, thank you so much for visiting and like always I feel so grateful for your wonderful comments. I try and pay as many return visits as I can, but do not always make it, so apologies for that....

This one is so delicately pretty... the background colours so subtly blended. The tissue tape adds interest beautifully, and what a fantastic motto... you'll know how much that hits home at the moment!

Just got a whole lot of new stamps from a brilliant place called the Stamp Smith. This is the image that I first saw on Docraft and really liked. I asked the friend who has used it in an ATC, where she got it. Well she borrowed it from a friend who got it from ebay as a one off. But.... it had a title. I googled the title, and hey presto found the site. They have great stamps and offer a really friendly fast service. I highly recommend them!
