Incy Wincy Designs - Distressing

This week at Incy Wincy we are sponsored by The Stampfairy for our distressing theme.  Now my regular followers will know i don't really 'do' distressed as i don't feel i can.  But here is my effort.

I have used this cute Bunny, she has been in my computer for ages and not been used so i thought i would use her today.  I coloured her with promarkers and Copics.

 Now another thing i don't really do many of is, Step cards, i never know what to do with the 'step' part lol.  I had to adjust this one slightly as i went a bit overboard with the flowers and it wouldn't stand up properly, so i added a slight bend and it was fine!  The flowers are from Crafty Emmas Store and Wild Orchid Crafts.  The heart beaded stem was from ebay (i think)

 The tag at the back is a Magnolia Doohickey.  The one at the front i have had in my stash for ages and i thought it worked well with this.  The Butterflies at the back are punched from a Tonic Studios punch.  The tiny butterflies (and they are soooo tiny!) are punched from a Woodware punch.  All the butterflies have glitter on them.

The papers are Magnolia Tilda, i have had them for ages and could have cried when i cut them, they are so pretty!  The lace is self adhesive and is from my local craft shop.

Incy Wincy Designs - Make your own flowers

At Incy Wincy Designs this week we would like you to MAKE YOUR OWN FLOWERS! 

And we are sponsored by our very own Nikki's shop Limited Runs!

I have used this HELLO sentiment.  Sorry this photo is a bit far away, my battery on my camera died before i could take anymore!  I have gone for a 'distressed' look with this one, i don't do many of cards like these although i do like the effect.  I inked the edges with Tim Holtz distress inks in 'denim blue' (i think) The paper is My Mind's Eye.  The large butterfly is a Marianne die, which i smothered with Crackle accents. The gems are from Ladybug Crafts. The flower embossed panel i used the debossed side, by rubbing ink in the embossing folder.  The flowers are Prima's with a mulberry rose in the centre.

The Sponsor for this week is Peggy Loves Vintage

Here is a little information about Peggy:

Hi,

I'm lucky enough to be a retired grandma who spends the day working with my vintage card collection. My husband and I have shared almost 37 years together and we have 2 sons and a daughter and 2 glorious grand kids that turn 4 and 7 in May.

I started collecting Vintage Greeting Cards quite by accident. I was helping with an Aunt's estate sale and ran across her Vintage Greeting Card collection. The images on the Vintage Cards were so bright and cheerful that I just fell in love with them. As my collection grew and provided such joy and entertainment for me, I knew that others would get as much out of them as I did. So I decided I'd share my collection thus, the birth of PeggyLovesVintage.

Each card is carefully scanned at a 600 dpi resolution and saved in .jpg format. I only scan cards that are free of any copyright restrictions. I keep each and every card, so if any question ever arise I can provide documentation that this is truly the case.

Special software is not required to use my images. If you have printed out a picture from a digital camera, it’s pretty much the same concept and just as easy. Of course if you are so inclined, and if you do have imaging software, you can clone, cut and paste and even change the colors on the image.

The possibilities are endless, so please take a moment and visit my web store by clicking below or copy and paste the link into your browser. So sit back, relax and enjoy your journey back in time.

Hugs to all!

Here is what i did:

I decided to go for a vintage distressed look this time, as i don't do them very often.  I used Tim Holtz Distress ink in Tea Dye.  The scalloped circles are punched out and then embossed.  I put some distress ink inside the folder before embossing.  The frame around the image is a nestie die.  I sanded all the edges for an extra distressed look.

Molly Bloom Strikes again!!

Alot of my crafty friends over at MSE have used these stamps and said how lovely they were to ink up and colour and i couldn't agree more!  I brought the magazine these gorgeous stamps were a free gift with, the day it came out, but i negleted them until now.  This one is the little boy (obviously lol) I thought i would go with the distress feel that was in the magazine, so once i inked and coloured him i got to work at 'distressing' the papers, which are from papermania.  The balloon and his shoes have been glossy accented.

Thanks for looking and i hope you like it.
