Vintage stamping challenge

Anything from your garden challenge

Hope you like my entry for the challenge over on Vintage stamping challenge. This was a paper bag which I lined with cardboard to give it substance. I then made 4 large tags to house packets of garden seeds to put into the bag.

it's that time of the week to get on over to Julia's stamping blog to share your workspace with like minded crafters. I'm in the middle of making 80 wedding invites using my Cricut and stamping the date on the tickets. These are custom made for my partner's son.  The ship is for their surname, the harp for his Irish fiancée ,the table mountain shaped pages for where they got engaged and the tickets because her father owns the cinemas in their village. Hope you like.

Just entering the challenge over on eclectic paperie. I have used an HSBC envelope inside and out to make a quick card. As I didn't want to hide the stunning patterns I have kept it simple. Get on over and visit all the wonderful blogs.

Vintage Stamping Challenge.
Just realised it is the last day for " Wings and Things" challenge over on  Vintage Stamping Challenge.
This is an altered white Dior box inspired by my good friend Toni (Artistic craft dabbler). The method was actually quite easy to do. I embossed sticky-backed silver tape (from the local hardware store) and stuck it all over the box. the embossing folder is a Tim Holtz riveted metal texture fade. I then distressed it with alcohol inks and rubbed it back a bit. The corners are grunge paper circles distressed and folded. the rivets are paperclips minus the butterflies on the back. The hot air balloon was stamped, coloured with distress inks covered in glossy accents. The label was stamped and distressed in the same way and the wings were distressed with frantage.
