a person's a person...no matter how small for dragons dream DT

well it is recipe time again over at dragons dream TIO and I am the lucky person whose turn it is to choose the recipe so here it is : vintage, texture and flowers. You must use at least one real stamp and make a tag...

so here is mine :


  I started by adding texture with texture paste in white and then used Artistic Outpost whimsical melange stamps to add some stamping in picket fence distress stain. then when dry I added copper kettle texture paste through reverse chicken wire stencil to create another layer. I added distress ink in frayed burlap and edged in vintage photo to warm it up.I also over stamped in music script stamp from Ephemera backgrounds.

I added the focal image from Artistic outpost set think and wonder and covered with deco art two step crackle.when dry I rubbed in more distress ink to highlight the crazed look.


I  then went to town adding lots of yummy goodies...mostly idea-ology and some flowers made using tattered floral die and added buttons, inked and covered with deco art two step crackle..

The flowers were cut using tattered floral die and had button centres added..

 
I also added lace, a wishbone ( love these!) rusty wire...

 
I also added seam binding, film strip...and more idea-ology..

 
The sentiment is from Think and Wonder and added number plaque...I am pleased with how this turned out (contains lots of my favourite things x) which has amazed me as having a tough time mojo wise ......... and also well...just been feeling a bit flat...never mind I will bounce back really soon!!
