A Fond Farewell

Unfortunately this is my last post for 100 PROOF PRESS, I have decided it is time to step down. I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge THANK YOU to sara for inviting me along on what has been a wonderful creative journey. Sara gave me my very first DT position and for that I am truly grateful.

I have created a card for my last piece using the fabulous SPRING BOUQUET, which I thought was the perfect stamp to use for my last piece as one of my other passions is gardening.

I have used corrugated card for my backdrop to add texture and combined with black card for a real natural feel.

My background panel has been coloured with Distress Inks and flicked with water to add to that aged feel. I then stamped the Spring Bouquet with black Archival Ink, I love the detail of this stamp. To add further interest I machine stitched around the image.

I added some natural twine and a cameo to the top of my card and I also distressed the edges of all my layers again to add to the aged feel.

I also added a small tag, again stamped with the Spring Bouquet image, adding a fragment for dimension along with a mini cameo.

For further dimension and interest I also included some mini wooden hearts stamped with part of the Spring Bouquet image.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Tracy x x
