SSS#160, Craft Spot #57 & Distress ink tags

Hi everyone!  I checked out the Sweet Stop blog for an inspirational sketch and decided to make a card based on it.  I made the base from Distress inks Pumice Stone and Vintage Photo.  I embossed & layered the two vertical strips and used an old-fashioned button at the top.  I don't know if you can see it, but the button has a time piece on it.  My final embellishment was to emboss the sentiment with gold embossing powder.

 

I'm also entering this into the latest Craft Spot challenge - buttons and bows.  I've just started following the Craft Spot and I love the inspiration (and her blog is just too beautiful!)

While I was playing with my distress inks, I decided to make tags with labels for all the distress inks.  I inked the tags with their appropriate color.  I love glancing at the actual colors when I want to ink something and this will come in handy for me.

Thanks for looking and happy inking!

    Nice card. I sooo need to make a chart for my Distress Inks. I keep inking on scrap paper with every project to decide on colors. I have been saying I will do it, but put it off. Maybe I will get to it this week. :)
