Handmade Vintage

I have had an opportunity to play with my new stamps - this gorgeous set Sewing Labels by The Angel Company - these are illustrated by the amazingly talented Nina Brackett.


As soon as I saw this set I knew it would be one I 'needed!'  LOL!  Sewing Labels are 'so in' right now, but we all know they have never been out - have they - I do believe Vintage is here to stay - yay!!


I stamped the image in Walnut Stain Distressing Ink and cut around the edge with scissors as I don't have the Labels 8 that it coordinates with it - but I have ordered it - just as well!!


Out came the huge jar of buttons that has been collected over time and I added some to the edge



The handmade label has been stamped and also cut out by hand and popped up onto foam tape....crochet lace and this fabulous tape measure ribbon has been


Here you can see the layers and details clearly.  I know I will be using this set more - I am loving it!

This card is for the following challenges:
Incy Wincy Designs - Something Old and Something New - Buttons (old) Stamps (new)
Make it Monday - always Anything Goes
Paper Creations Ink - Stitching Theme
Squigglefly - Buttons
 Card Cupids - Buttons and/or Ribbon

Thank you for visiting today - I have been busy getting organised as I am going to be busy at the Canberra Craft and Quilt Fair from Thursday to Sunday - it is going to be a lot of fun, but there is a lot to get organised with Classes at my LSS and a Workshop to run next week - but it is all fun...it's a tough job but some has to do it!  LOL!  I hope you get some 'you' time - I tell my DH I am saving him a fortune by crafting - as therapy starts at $150 per hour!  LOL!  God bless you!

    Fantastic sewing stamps by Nina! I love how you incorporated the lace, buttons and measuring tape. Your use of vintage distressing and the spiral paper torn edge is also marvelous. It all creates a great card! Well done, Linda!

    This is so sweet Linda - and yay for vintage staying :-) I too have a grand stash of buttons that is starting to appear on my cards - they won't get used any other way.
