Hello Stampers!
I've got a vintage style hanging to share with you today.
I prepared some fabric, lace & burlap, by soaking in a coffee bath, then leaving to dry.
Next, I prepared the corrugated backing. I tore away some of the top layer, then coloured it with vintage photo distress stains. I layered the corrugated card onto my coffee stained fabric, then glued some of the stained lace to the bottom edge.
I stamped the little girl from The Artistic Stamper Childhood Dreams Plate onto gessoed book page, cut & tore it out, then glued it to a cut-off manilla tag. I inked the edges with vintage photo distress ink, then added some of the coffee stained lace. I glued the image to some stained burlap, then added it to the corrugated backing.
I stamped the wording onto a left-over piece of manilla tag, inked the edges with vintage photo DI, then glued it in place, as shown.
I dabbed picket fence distress paint onto the Ideaology word stick, then wiped the suface, leaving some paint in the word. I used a jump ring, a charm clip, & a red gem brad to attached the word stick next to the image.
To finish, I added silver eyelets & some ball chain to the top.
I hope this inspires you.
Thanks for visiting,
Alison xxx
