remember when...

hey there blog friends
..old and new...
sorry for the delay in my next post
 but finally here she is:
 
 
the challenge over at artful times..
is a fabric tag.
and i had a stash of calico sitting unloved in the corner..
so here are the results
 
i die cut two tags from calico,
coloured with distress
and stamped fab Artistic Stamper script over
in coffee archival..
 
i then stamped this beautiful stampsmith stamp..
my first ...onto calico using coffee archival..
 
 
the floral trim
was dipped into
tea dye stain
and then dusted with walnut stain DI
 
to complete
i added some leaves cut from autumn foliage strip die
from the crafty master Tim
and treated with a rusty treatment from the great timeworn workshop..
 
i also used the same treatment for the rusty rose..
well hope it looks rusty!!!!
 
 
and some twirls of a new goodie..rusty wire!
i love this stuff..so expect to see it lots!!!!
 
some string to finish
oh and a chit chat sticker..
 
i am entering this for the following challenges:

 
 
have a fun and inky day!
