Distressed Memories!!!



Hiya everyone!

This is my first play with my new Tim Holtz distress inks! I couldn't decide which to buy so I bought all 36!!! (Naughty me Lol)
I saw a few challenges for vintage/distress/memories so I came up with this.

Image of lady from vintage belle CD - I distressed the image then used a few layers of clear embossing powder on it, scrunched it so it cracked then used a bit more ink
Papers and ornate frame from Summer Driggs wonderful stuff
Inks used:- Vintage photo, tea dye and walmut stain
Prima flowers, buttons and brads from stash
Sentiment done on computer - fonts used are century gothic and Susie's hand

I'm entering it into these challenges:-

Secret crafter - distressing
Sentimental Sundays - flowers and a sentiment
Cuttlebug spot - embossing and flowers
Kaboodle Doodle - embossing
Practical scrappers - Buttons
Sisterhood of scrap - flowers
Crazy challenge - buttons/brads/eyelets
Shabby tea room - Comforts of home (photo inspiration)
Flourish - Vintage
Papertake weekly - Something different
A spoonful of sugar - 3D something (frame)
Tuesday taggers - Memories


Thanks for looking!!!
