I love pieced cards, when I saw a tag made by
Kaz {The Little Shabby Shed} in this post Water Colour Inspiration I did a little hurrah of excitement! Now Kaz used distress markers on her tag but alas I was still waiting for mine to arrive, ah well that means it's a good time to improvise...
Using a white card for the base I inked it all over with distress ink. Then I cut up some manila card for the top pieces. I very lightly inked the stamps to be used in the background with different coloured archival ink and stamped onto the manila pieces. Once dry I then used black archival ink to stamp the main images. I inked all the edges with distress ink and sewed by hand around each piece. As a finishing touch I added some metal doodad's.
I love the sewn look so much I may just have to do this too all cards...lol, ok maybe not!
