I thought I'd make a simple tag, and as the theme for Sunday Stampers this week is Words, it will be my entry over at Hel's brilliant blog.
The tag is inked in Antique Linen and Vintage Photo, then sploshed with water, then stamped with stitches from the Just Sew Artsy stamps. I was going to stamp the leaves on Grungepaper, but it's hiding somewhere so I spent a laborious ten minutes cutting them out from card, which I only managed to tear once and have cunningly concealed!
The heart is coloured with Barn Door DI, and the lace trim is also a Wendy stamp.
I then used my new (birthday pressie to self) die to cut out the bookplate, which is painted with gold acrylic paint and aged a bit with Espresso acrylic. The words are from Tim's Odds and Ends stamp.
The flower is yet another Wendy Vecchi stamp (Art in Bloom), and I'm so sad the button in the middle doesn't show up very well, because it is gorgeous, with a lovely sparkly middle

Sue, this is beautiful! I have been buying myself birthday pressies too!
Beautiful tag - I love all the little touches and embellishments. I love that tag die and use it all the time!
This is really wonderful.Love the colors you used. Just can't imagine cutting out those leaves by hand. It would have taken me a bit longer than 10 minutes! :) Nna
A fabulous tag Sue, I love your choice of stamps on this one.
Have a good week.
