RNDT4-7S_SAK 004   Now for my projects.  Linda Duke chose Pink & Lavender for our challenge today.  Well, I started out making a soft pastel spring card and ended up here – my usual distressed/grunge look.  I had to make a 2nd project to sorta redeem myself.  Here’s the components of this card first:

Paper: Prism Rose Light & Wizard Light.  tim Holtz Distressibles Antique Ledger Paper

Stamps:  Flower Silhouettes Set

Ink:  Distress Walnut Stain

Distress Reinkers mixed w/ water and misted on ledger paper.  (Dusty Concord, Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick, Antique Linen)

Embellishments:  May Arts Chocolate Ribbon, 7gypsies Chelsea Collection/lavender ribbon.  Prima Flowers, Pearlized Brad.

 

RNDT4-7S_SAK 002 My 2nd project and much more pastel and spring feeling is a  4 3/4” x 2 3/8” shipping tag.  It reminds me of a soft and sweet Easter Dress.  I started by covering the tag front with a Pearl Adirondack Paint Dabber.  When dry it was layered with vellum, sewn and trimmed around the edges.  The Floral pattern was created using watercolor crayons to color on the rubber, misting with water and then stamping on the vellum.  Next, I sewed the grid and reinforced hole strip on.  The edges were sponged, attached the ribbons, added the brad and the torn vellum strip with the rub on sentiment.   Here’s the supply list:RNDT4-7S_SAK 001

Paper: Shipping Tag, Hero Arts Linen Weave Vellum, Worldwide Spring Garden Vellum

Ink:  Distress Dusty Concord, Watercolor Crayons

Accessroies:  May Arts Ribbons, Pearl Brad, Magenta Peach Grid, K&Co. Rub On

Stay tuned for all the fun tomorrow and be sure to visit the Design Team to see their fabulous creations as well!

  1. Shelly, your first card is lovely but that tag is over the top. I love the wonderful soft colors and gorgeous ribbon.

    PS...Dave sent me some alcohol inks and tags and I went Saturday and purchased the blending tools and solution (??) to play with. I was intrigued by the technique you and Sherry were using and it really gets me out of my box.
