Valentine tag

One of my favorite styles is "vintage/distressed" in papercrafts. My current go-to stamp is anything by Magnolia. I looooove their new mini stamps! This is a tag I made using my Tim Holtz distressing tool and Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink. The background of the tag was made using Hero Arts Heart Flourish stamp and Tim Holtz Tattered Rose Distress Ink. The text and Tilda With Hearts stamps are all by Magnolia. Tilda was colored with Copics and I added glitter to the hearts. The lace diecut is also by Magnolia. I used Spellbinders Elegant Oval diecut embossed with Cuttlebug embossing plates. The roses are Recollections by Michaels.

This is a card I had previously made, but I have now modified it. My original posting was to my SCS gallery in April 2010. I have added additional embellishments and a saying. I included small flower diecuts to the butterfly and Sizzix swirls colored with Sea Glass Glimmer Mist. The saying is a Magnolia stamp with TAC sentiment.

Welcome. . .

to my new blog! This is where I will display some of my papercrafts. I have been collecting paper since I was a toddler. My mom tells me I pushed a baby buggy around that was filled with paper scraps and I was extremely protective of it. I knew immediately if something was missing. Here I am 50 years later and papercrafting is one of my passions.
