Hi everybody, here's wishing you all a happy Sunday. I had a great day yesterday, just playing with paper, paste, inks, sprays and cardboard - can it be better? Not for me. Here are some of the things I made.
First of all I made a cardboard tag, embossed and distressed as yesterday. The image (Lost Coast Designs) has been stamped with Archival green and embossed with Perfect pearls in bronze. I stamped onto a scrap of designer paper. Once again I used string, some beads and a strip of lace - thanks Diane! - for the embellies.
The grungy postcard has been made with a blended paper background, which has been stamped, collaged with images from CI, and stamped with one of my fave quotes.
And last but not least a concertina album, with sewn in journaling pages and chipboard covers. I covered them with some of the beautiful, hand-painted paper that also came from Diane. The album has a black elastic band to close it, which I have decorated with a Prima butterfly. The butterfly can be taken off so that the album can easily be stored in a handbag.
Okay, that's all for today. Have a great day, take care, and thanks a lot for dropping in!
They are all gorgeous, I love them all! Gut the cardboard piece is just a touch in front in the race! Hugs, Sarah

Hi Val, wow I love that tag, you did a wonderful job with distressing and all the added embellies. Everything looks great.
ReplyDeleteI much prefer to play with paper, glue and paint than that darn sewing machine. It sure was giving me the gears today but I am now wearing one of my dresses and it is so nice and cool in this darn heat.
Thanks for dropping by.
