Vintage Baby


Well, I'm on a vintage kick...I've been eye-balling the Ranger Ink and Tim Holtz products and finally bought some.  I got Tim Holtz's new book "A Compendium of Curiosities" and it has a bunch of great techniques in it that I used as inspiration.  This layout uses already distressed paper from K&G Company, and cocoa background cardstock.  I cut a Sizzix flourish in liliac mist, edged it in spring iris, and smeared some diamond stickles around.  The CTMH white daisy flowers are sprayed with Tsukinek walnut ink in eucalyptus and terra cotta then embellished with diamond stickles, chocolate brads and miscellaneous doo-dads.  The lace is from Walmart and inked up with spring iris. The colonial white edge anchor is distressed with expresso acrylic paint dauber from Ranger Ink.

The photo was edited in Photoshot Elements.  The picture is in black & white with just the pink ribbon in color.  I've always wanted to try this and finally found a photo it worked with.

And the most important feature of this layout is my 3 month old granddaughter!

Hope you enjoy!
