VLVS!  - Started here!
DeeDee Catron You are here!!


And without further ado here is the piece I have to show off today!!


The two stamps I chose to use on this piece are 










I stamped both images onto white cardstock in Memento Black ink, did a small bit of fussy cutting (not very detailed) and pulled out a white base tag. I inked the tag with Broken china distress stain and embossed with a TH folder. Then I sponged with Vintage photo distress ink and swiped my walnut stain ink pad over the raised portions. I grabbed some pop dots and put my beautiful stamped images in place. I used miracle tape to stick my hand written banners in place. I then placed some fun little half pearls at the bottom and grabbed some photo corners to finish off this baby!





I am so loving tucking tags into these library envelopes (available at VLVS! here).. this one I left pretty simple.. but I do want to point out the grungeboard letters.. I misted them with Stewart Superior Memories Mist in Sparkling Silver. and I inked the edges of the envelope with the same Memento black used to stamp the images! 

Thanks so much for stopping by! Remember... become a follower and leave a comment for a chance @ some new stamps! YOUR CHOICE! 

Now you're onto JOE'S BLOG!!!

Happy Hopping stampers! -DeeDee
