Believe in yourself

 

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! Tonight I am sharing another shabby chic card that I have created using this stunning photograph from Ireland Rose studios; it is truly beautiful and another one that I will keep coming back to use in lots of designs!

I have also used these wonderful grey shabby chic papers from Digital Curio and French chateau journal

sheets from Paper Daisy journals.

To complete my card, I have used some vintage stamps and added lots of lovely vintage ephemera!

I hope that I have inspired you to create your own shabby chic cards! 

Thank you so much for stopping by the Den, I really appreciate your visit and kind comments!

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing a DT creation that I have created for Arty Divas mid challenge design. There is still time left to enter your creations into our challenge

I love making these, they are perfect for gifts and adding to journals! 

I have used these beautiful papers from paper daisy journals, a Tim Holtz photo booth photograph, film strip ribbon and vintage ephemera.

Vintage stamps.... oh my!

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! It's such a dark, rainy day here in the UK where I live... a perfect time to create!  

I have such a love for really old, vintage and antique rubber stamps and have started to collect them! Here are some photos of my little collection. I am always on the lookout for more and it's quite exciting as I always come across other vintage items to salvage and give a good, loving home to! 

This particular one is a French antique and from the early 1900's.... heaven! 

I have also created some little vintage inspired Matchbooks, which I decorated with a paper collage of vintage book pages and postal stamps that I designed myself. 

I have also added wax seals and bakers twine as a  closure. 

For the inside of the matchbooks, I have added a small stack of printer paper with quotes. 

I have also decorated the back of the matchbooks' with vintage papers and ephemera. 

Thanks so much for stopping by the Den! I really appreciate your visit.

 I have also used Ephemera pieces, including vintage rulers, fountain pens and Journal words also from My Porch Prints.

Wonder

Hello lovelies, hope that you are well and staying safe? Today I am sharing a vintage tag that I have made, using this super sweet vintage baby photo...adorable! 

I have used layers of vintage music sheet and brown floral paper. The beautiful top layer of paper is from Vintage by me.

Once I had adhered the photo, I then added a piece of ruler ephemera and a word label. I have also used a Tim Holtz French script rubber stamp and a Carte Postale stamp along with Black soot Distress ink. 

Thank you so much for stopping by, I really appreciate your visit! Stay safe, 

Tim Holtz Artist Trading Card

Hello my lovelies, hope you are well and staying safe? There's so much chaos and uncertainty in the world right now. Everybody is unnerved and a lot of people in the crafting community are showing camaraderie and sending out a positive message to carry on crafting, which I think is a great idea. 

Please though stay indoors if you can and take care of yourselves and your families. 

Arty Divas  is hosting their brand new challenge, which starts today. The theme is ATG and you can create anything you wish, a card, tag, an ATC, mixed media project etc! The Design Team look forward to seeing your lovely creations! 

For my DT creation I have made a friendship ATC. My mojo has been missing lately, so a small project is just what I needed to get back into the swing of things! 

I have created a collage background using various torn pieces of paper and ephemera. Everything has been distressed with Vintage Photo Distress ink. 
Finally, I adhered these wonderful Tim Holtz paper dolls, I just love them! 

Thank you so much for stopping by, I really appreciate your visit and kind comments! 
Stay safe.
