Thinking Of You

 Hi bloggers!  I am releasing my inner grunge on this one just a little bit!  Every once in awhile, you just need to, don't you!  I reached for the Teresa Collins paper pad for this one.  I selected a variety of the papers as they all work lovely together.  I used my scissors on the edges to distress them, giving them small tears in spots and rolling the corners too.  Using the large polka dot mask, I inked through it on to the background music papers using a walnut stain distress pad (and a light hand).  I added a strip of a coordinating paper to add some variety to the background.  I cut a rust dotted paper into a smaller area and inked the edges with Walnut Stain.  I stamped the corner with a swirl stamp and dusted it with bronze mica powder.  Next I cut the Pierced Tag die out of kraft card.  I stamped my sentiment so it looks straight when he tag is mounted on an angle.  I added a variety of ribbons and twine to the hole in the tag as accents.  I cut the Trailing Ivy out of the music background and glued it to the bottom of the card.  I made a flower out of the decorative papers cut from the Complete petal Camellia die set and seated it in the corner with the ivy.  Finally I finished the card with Ivory PVA glue dots all the way around the edge.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x  7 3/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
