A Vintage Summer Garden

Hi friends, so happy to have you coming by to see my latest design.  This is for this week's new Frilly and Funkie challenge.  Terry is our hostess this week and her challenge is to create something that depicts summertime.  I chose to use my gorgeous new Pion Design paper Vintage Garden.  All of the designer paper plus the lovely vintage image used here come from that collection.  I just cut out the vintage image and then used the Tim Holtz Torn Notebook On the Edge die to cut the top.  I also used the Butterflight On the Edge die to cut the piece of designer paper.

My handmade flowers were made using the tattered Florals die plus a few cuts from the Tattered Flowers Decorative Strip die, some card stock cuts and a couple cut out of crinoline.  For the file label sentiment, I used the Tiny Tabs and Tags die to cut it and then added a quick Chit Chat sticker.

Below you will find the products available at The Funkie Junkie Boutique that were used for this card.

Seeds of Love

It's time again for my weekly posting for Artistic Outpost.  This week, I played around with my new Wendy Vecchi Stripes and Dots stencil.  It started out with me spritzing the stencil to clean some Aged Mahogany ink off it.  I hated to waste all that lovely watery ink so I laid a piece of white card stock over it and ended up with the stencil marks mixed in with the water blots.  I decided to stencil the edges with Aged Mahogany to match the ink blots and then had to clean the stencil again and ended up with more ink drops on my craft sheet which I used on the edge of the jumbo manila tag...I can see that it could be a vicious circle with stenciling and blotting and stenciling and blotting and...

Once dry, I randomly stamped images from Bloom and Grow onto the background I had created and then sponged Vintage Photo DI over both the stenciled piece as well as the jumbo tag.  I finished off the stenciled edging by sewing a row of stitching around it.  

My crinoline flower was made from a big black dye batch I did last year and still had a few pieces left.  I used one of the floral circle filigrees and topped it off with a black patterned button.  It was too bright white so I sponged Vintage Photo DI over it to grunge it up a bit.  The tri-bud was white and I painted it with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink.  I just took a water brush and picked up a bit of ink directly from my ink pad.

And that's it...just a bit of artsy fartsy fun today.  Hope you are having a great weekend.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Miracles

Hi there, I'm back after having had a bit of playtime with some wonderful Wendy Vecchi products - stencils and stamps.  This tag was made for week 2 of the Get Your Wendy On challenge over at Frilly and Funkie.

I started with a non-branded jumbo tag I sell in the boutique and dredged it through puddles of Broken China and Wild Honey distress paints, drying with my heat tool after each dredging.  I used the Lines and Dots stencil with distress inks (Broken China/WildHoney) to create a little gingham design.  Then I stenciled the flower using the 3 Fresh Flowers stencil with Broken China and Mowed Lawn distress inks.  The white polka dots were leaving the Fresh Flowers stencil on, dabbing Picket Fence Distress Paint on the dot stamp from It's All About Art.  I did some hand doodling around the edges plus sponged the edges with Jet Black archival.  The sentiment, from Sentimental Art, was stamped with Broken China distress ink and clear embossed.  I also used the text stamp from Live and Mark Art with Coffee archival ink to give the background a little interest.

A few funkie type embellishments, including burlap string, rhinestone buttons and burlap, plus stitching, finished off this piece.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you will join in the Wendy Vecchi Style challenge over at Frilly and Funkie.
