Stamps from Shady Tree Studio "Backyard Springtime."
That retro feel begins with polka dot cardstock from amuse | studio which I sponged around the edges with Distress Ink Tea Dye ~ seriously, I could've found this tucked in a drawer with my mom's white gloves!
The image is comprised of the meadow flower grouping from "Backyard Spring," stamped in Versafine Onyx Black and watercolored with Derwent Inktense pencils and water brush. The flower centers are colored with black marker and a smattering of Sakura glitter pen.
Besides the Tim Holtz tissue tape layered behind and strategically over parts of the image panel, we have a 'band' of amuse | studio Buttercup cardstock. I tore one edge to expose the white layer and lightly sponged the edges with Tea Dye ink.
For final touches, I stamped a couple of vintage style stamps in Tea Dye on the floral panel, and placed pieces of a | s Onyx cardstock under diagonal edges which to me is reminiscent of old scrapbook photo corners.
A single black button balances the black corners and tissue tape lettering.
