Images and inks available from Rubbernecker Stamp Co.
I used Tsukineko Walnut Ink Crystals dissolved in water for my ways to use it spray card. The images on the tag were stamped using Tim Holtz Black soot ink. I then sprayed the tag with the walnut crystals liquid. When that dried, I sponged the images with TH Tattered Rose and Weathered Wood. DTP'd the edges with Vintage photo and then lightly sponged the edges with Walnut Stain. The cardfront is cut down 3/4" of an inch and the trim is attached to the inside of the card front. I stamped the background and inside of the card using TH Brushed Corduroy that was stamped off once. The trim is from the fabric department and is attached to twill.

Gorgeous collage, Shelly. The build-up of color with the inks and stain has created a stunning background and I love the beautiful embellishments. We don't see much of this type of work on SCS and it's really lovely.

Shel, what a beautiful card. I love the fibers and edge trimming, the use of the tag, the aged finish and the collage aspect of your card. Hope you are feeling better.
