I started with the tag first, coloring the background with that Inky Thing I Do (hehe . . . Beate called it that one day and I just can’t get it out of my head). Once I had the desired background colors, French Script Background was stamped lightly in Vintage Photo. The silhouette was first stamped in Walnut Stain and then stamped again with Black Soot. I was going for the double stamping silhouette look, but I think I was a little far apart with my stamping. Yes, I have a stamp-a-majig, and no I don’t know where it is. The background paper was sanded and then sewn to the panels. The border was die cut, embossed and then sponged using the Spellbinders Grand 12” Classic Lace Borderabilities and the sentiment was cut with Spellbinders Deckle Edged Rectangles Nestabilities.

I love this! Love the rustic vintage look of this. These colors are great and I lvoe the stamping and distressing on the tag. Love the ribbons and button too as well as the border.
