Today is a holiday in Canada- Victoria Day- which most consider the first official weekend of summer. Yes, you can definitely feel summer in the air and in the soul. Yesterday morning I woke up at 5am to hear some wee birds chirping. What a great sound to wake up to! I decided to take advantage of the early wake up call and play in the craft room for a few hours. The Tim Holtz May Tag was dry (texture paste from the night before) so I finished the project.
The stencil used was TH's Gothic THS026. (The stencil goes so well with the Paris stamps, dies and embossing folder set from Michaels.) Originally I had used Distress in Salty Ocean, Abandoned Coral, Shaded Lilac, Antique Linen and Scattered Straw on the stenciled/stamped tag but I decided I did not like the colors after all. A softer look was desired so I mixed Picket Fence Distress Paint with a small amount of Seedless Preserves. After drying, Picket Fence paint was applied to the edges. Beautiful results in the Gothic Stenciled areas!
The flower and lace were dyed using Shaded Lilac Distress Ink.
Thank you for stopping by!
Have a happy, crafty day!
Big Hugs,
Kathy Jo
