A quick post from me today, it's my daughter's birthday soon, so of course I made her a card:
I embossed a large tag with a Tim Holtz embossing folder and then inked it with a mix of Distress Inks, Tea dye, Rusty Hinge, Wild Honey, Peeled Paint and even a bit of Dusty Concord round the edges. I spritzed and flicked a bit and then stamped with various Prima stamps from the Vintage Vanity collection by Finnabair. I mounted the Mucha image on a bit of Kraft card, adhered it to the tag and then embellished with some die cut leaves I still had left over from another project. The gorgeous butterfly was a gift from a friend.
Here are a few close ups still:
I mounted the tag on a piece of Kraft card to turn it into a card.
I am entering this for the Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge where the theme is embossing.
