Friday freebie- valentine stamp 1

With valentine's day around the corner, here is the first of a few heart stamps that I made. This was so much fun - I scanned an orange mesh bag and created a few stamps with it, using different brushes. Click here for your free copy. Have a great weekend!

Friday freebie - Pearl button

I scanned a few of my favourite buttons last night and this one turned out quite nicely so I decided to make a vintage button card with it, click here for your free button. Have a great weekend!

Friday freebie - vintage measuring tape

I wanted a vintage measuring tape, and couldn't find one - so I decided to take a new one and make it look old. First I soaked it in Rooibos tea for a day, but it didn't really have the desired effect - ended up using distressing ink to give it that vintage feel. This is a piece of it, but I have to admit for this version there was a little bit of digital enhancing involved and actually what I would like the real one to look like ;-)  Have fun!

Buttons and bows

I made a vintage style button card for Three Muses challenge this week. I have fond childhood memories of rummaging through my mom's button stash  - admiring the beautiful cards and buttons.
