Life & Art
Yay, it’s another Wacky Wednesday challenge! Bev (dear, sweet, talented lady that she is) told us we had to cut something out this week. I tried not to go overboard with it. I have been known to cut out everything!
I love this Postage Heart (1679 SO) from Rubbernecker and just haven’t used it enough. To me, it’s just one of those “perfect” vintage looking images. I stamped it 5 times - once in each of these inks: Ranger Archival jet black, coffee, and sepia and SU dusty durango and more mustard. Then I cut out several of the “stamps” and layered some on glue dots and some on foam tape, using the black stamped image as the base.
The center postage stamp and the Labels 4 cut sentiment tag were each painted with Ranger Distress Rock Candy crackle paint. I LOVE that stuff! Here are close ups (click on them to see them larger):
Just about every layer is sponged along the edges and/or distressed. I gathered the lace by hand and hand-stitched it to the card. And don’t you LOVE the Graphic 45 Transatlantique papers? ( eP has them on sale now!)
