A Little Shabby.....

I was playing with some textures and color with mists...so I decided to create a couple of shipping tags with Marion Smith's new "Scarlet" printable digitals that you can purchase at www.marionsmithdesigns.com.

Using a stucco/gesso mixture and a mask created texture on the paper cover tags. Then spraying different mist here and there to add color/tones to the tags...and splats of glimmer mist!!!

On this blue-ish tone tag, I made a sikly handmade flower with pearls, tucked in some colored Petaloo (color me crazy) flowers cut in half. Took a tag embellishment cut from "Scarlet" embellishment digital sheet, cut the tag in half and tucked behind the silky flower. Punched out a butterfly also out of the "Scarlet" digital page...Also added texture and painted the chipboard cherry blossom piece. Last bit of touches was adding vintage seqins and pearl stickpin... 

 

This tag with demask stucco/gesso texture background with pinks/brown tones of color...so shabby chic!

Distressed a paper doily, with fuzzy cutting out rose, butterfly, and lady digital embellishments from the "Scarlet" digital collection. Of course this little tag needed some vintage frames and pink flowers with lace and seam binding....

Here are some pics of the steps for creating the backgrounds...

Vintage Telegram 31 Day Journal

 I've been working on this beautiful mini album using Marion Smith's "Vintage Telegram" digital printables that you can find here. I decided to use it for my 31 Day Journal for the month of June, I can't wait to fill this mini up with wonderful family and friend memories! I will be sharing more on my journal here on this blog and my blog and I will be creating some videos be sure to stop over. With my journal I also wanted to create some wrinkle and stain paper which I created a little tutorial you can see below as well as a little video sharing it too.

I wanted to buy new supplies to use with this digital design but decided I needed to use up some of my stash...I love using one of the journal spots as my title focal point, tucking in a clock die cut and a handmade flower with fuzzy cutting out images from the line to embellish. Delish!

You know me I had to use something vintage and old in my projects..don't you just love the center of the flower! It's a olde ear ring that I repurposed fabulous!!

5. pull paper out of tea bath and place on wire racks to drip dry

7. unwrap gently to avoid tearing (but I love the tears)

8. let air dry or spead up drying by using your heat tool
