This is my DT submission for the
Bella Creations Tres Chic Challenge, which is a 'style' challenge. We were asked to use a ticket, metal, vintage theme and navy & khaki color scheme. I added sheer ribbon, cardboard and a heart stick pin, as well as a Graphic 45 teapot image. The Challenge runs to the end of March and has a wonderful RAK~ see post below!
I also played around with two punches and fabric this week. I decided to punch shapes in a tag, then cover the punched opening with fabric. Next, I backed the fabric with a larger second tag so the fabric was sandwhiched in the middle. On my first try, I used plain muslin behind the punched shape. I used pencil and chalk to color the leaf.
My Distress Inks were calling my name...yooohoo! LOL~ So for the next tag I used my
Mini Misters and ink.
I punched a teapot (what else?), inked the tag, then quick dried it with my Ranger Heat It Craft Tool. This time around I used a small floral fabric which reminded me of a chintz pot.
I completed the tag with bakery string, a Verve Stamps sentiment and red ribbon. What punch shapes do you have that this technique would work with? It only takes a small amount of fabric and it gives the tag a cool tactile effect.
Wow Those are amazing!!! Love the blues...very nice together! Love the use of fabric with your teapot punch..very cool!!
