Stamps Be Gone Challenge

Hi everyone!  I don't often participate in challenges, but I couldn't miss the current challenge at the Frilly and Funkie blog.  You are to create a project without using stamps and this is what I made.

I began by adhering a sheet of K&Co paper to a manila tag.  The edges were distressed and stained with Tea Dye Distress Ink.  A paper doily was also inked and placed under the Tim Holtz Found Relatives photo.  I used Distress Markers to add a bit of color to the girl's corsage.  Using a Tim Holtz branch die highlighted with Stickles, I attached the branch to the side and bottom of the photo.  The resin and paper flowers are from Recollections and the tiny roses are Petaloo.  Each were given a bit of Distress Ink for accent.  A couple of vintage pearl buttons were placed in the flower cluster.  The crochet doily under the one flower is from Colorbok.  The brass charm under the resin flower was a gift to me.  Tiny pearls also from Recollections were added at the top and side of the photo.  A bit of lace was added to the bottom of the tag and a piece of tulle to the top as a finishing touch.

If you love vintage, do stop over at the Frilly and Funkie blog.  There is a lot of inspiration to be found there!

Well, that's it for me today.  We have a beautiful fall-like day this Sunday, so I plan to go out and enjoy it.  Have a wonderful week!  Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and for all your kind comments.
