Sunday Stamper 204 - Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue

Good afternoon all.

Over at Hels' gaff this week, the Sunday Stamper theme is Blue and Brown. I love  using these two colours together and decided to have some fun creating a tag using some of my favourite things:
I used antique linen to colour the tag and stamped a Studio 490 stamp in broken china.  I used washi tape as my ruler.  I die cut the sewing room die in canvas and coloured with antique linen and edged in walnut stain.  I cut the bird cage in grunge and coloured it using walnut stain.  I coloured a length of seam binding ribbon using broken china ink and tied it around the waste.  I stamped a Tim Holtz quote in broken china and attached using two mini pegs.

Zip across to Hels' place to have a nosey at everyone's creations.

Thanks for looking.

    1. I can't claim the idea as my own, I'm afraid. I saw Tim do this last year - he always has great ideas!
