Hi everyone, I started my 4 weeks of long service leave from work today so had time to play with some new goodies!
I was inspired by this amazing tag by Tami.
Diecutting the intricate lace die was tricky with my Cuttlebug, even with a metal shim.
I ran it through my Big Shot Plus a few times and all of the tiny details cut properly.
I added a crochet trim diecut to the bottom then used multi medium matte to glue it all onto some card, then added another layer of the glue over the top.
When that was dry I added some speckled egg distress paint but wasn't happy with the coverage, so I added some oxide ink in the same colour.
The flower is coloured with tattered rose oxide ink and has 3 layers, shaped for dimension.
I'm linking up to these challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday, use your favourite tool.

Supplies:

Distress oxide ink and paint; Ranger multi medium matte; sentiment sticker.
Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x

Such a pretty look with the intricate background die and the beautifully coloured die cut wildflower stem Cathy, and just perfect added to a kraft card background and with the sentiment strip across the flowers and foliage. A super card. Enjoy your four weeks' leave. x
The die cut lace looks so pretty and yes so intricate. Wonderful design and colours and the layering of the flower looks fabulous x.
Super pretty and delicate. The lace is a gorgeous background for the flowers and gives a vintage look a modern twist x

Your beautiful tag looks quite nice on the kraft.
This is simply beautiful. The lace is lovely and the soft color really shows it off. A pretty pink flower just tops it all wonderfully.
Gorgeous lace die-cut for the background of your tag. So pretty in Speckled Egg DOX inks. Your die-cut flower is so soft and pretty in tattered rose ... I colour I never use, but will definitely be using now! :) This is a gorgeous, vintage tag card Cathy! Enjoy your 4 weeks from work!! xx
