Due Dates is the challenge this week at
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. You couldn't pick anything closer to my heart. I loved checking books out at the library and of course that is what I thought of when I heard the words due date. That idea had me pulling out a pre-printed tag with a date column. I created my layout inspired by the tag.
Once I decided on the tag the rest of the layout became a lovely set of neutrals including printing a sepia colored photo of my daughter.
I started this layout and worked on it over a period of 3 weeks. In the meantime new stamps, stencils and sprays kept showing up and I kept adding them into my layout.
I love this stamp from Impression Obsession and it worked beautifully with the Sizzix Butterfly and my canvas tags.
I started with a sheet of white cardstock. I stenciled the flourishes over the background using Wendy's White embossing paste. I let it dry and sprayed a mix of Vintage Photo and Antique Linen Ranger Distress Stain Sprays over the background.
I die cut flourishes and butterfly. The butterfly got embossed with the typewriter letters and sponged with a touch of vintage photo. I stamped some sentiments form the new Prima Finnabair sets and used them to accent the layout.
