Our guest Beulah Bee has made a fabulous tag this week, please pop by her blog to see her gorgeous work up close and personal! ;-)
I started by using a trio of Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks, Spiced Marmalade, Broken China and Worn Lipstick to create a background. Once this was dry I splattered with Dylusions Caribean Ink Spray
I used a Darkroom Door Arty Circles Cling Stamp and white pigment ink pad and embossing powder to add to the design and then used a Robin Cling Stamp for the focus.
I used a Darkroom Door Alphabet Medley Stamp Set to make the 'tweets' and distressing the edges using a paper distressed and then swiped some Worn Lipstick along the edges. I finished with some washi tape and twine.
and of course I finished the inside ;-)
Thanks for looking!
So now it's YOUR turn to distress your projects!!
