For the tag below, I first used a stencil and Tea Dye distress ink for the diamond shape in the background. Then I stamped with Old Paper distress ink using a Waltzingmouse text stamp. Next I stamped the flower with leaves (a Unity stamp), using Fired Brick and Peeled Paint distress stains. The brown center of the flower was also done with distress stain (Vintage Photo), using a starburst stamp from Waltzingmouse's Vintage Ornaments. The sentiment (PTI) was stamped with black ink, as were the little scrolls at the top of the tag. I hand stitched some vintage lace onto the end of the tag to finish it.
The next tag uses stamps from Unity. The background is a single stamp that I inked with Old Paper distress ink. The bird was stamped using Broken China distress stain, and the sentiment was stamped with black ink.
That's all I have for today. Next week I really need to start working on some Christmas gifts if I want to get them done in time!
