Buttons, Burlap, And Pink...Oh My!!!

Linda Coughlin of the Funkie Junkie, is hosting again this week at Our Creative Corner, and she wants to see "Buttons, Burlap and/or Bows".  It's fairly simple this week, use buttons and then either burlap or bows, but if you need a little help jump starting your creativity, please visit the other members of the Design Team.

I wanted to mimic the flower garland the ladies are holding and wearing for this tag. This picture makes the background look salmon colored, but it is really very pink and matches the flowers very closely. And, since pink is the dominant color, I am submitting this to the Sunday Stamper's challenge of "Pink".
I inked the tag with Tattered Rose Distress Ink.
I applied Spun Sugar Distress Stain and some water onto my craft mat. I then laid my tag into the liquid, picking it up and relaying again until all was covered. I dried it completely with a heat tool.
I stamped script image onto the tag randomly with Tattered Rose Distress Ink.
I used a Snow Cap Acrylic Paint Dabber to define the edges of the tag, as well as the ridges of some corrugated cardboard die cuts.
Natural and green dyed burlap were adhered to the center part of the tag.
I wrapped burlap strings around buttons, and secured them to inked flowers of silk and burlap. Leaf ribbon and the picture were added, as well as a few embellies.
 
Supplies:
From My Stash- green burlap, Lickety Split burlap flowers, pink flowers, leaf ribbon, Maya Road Pink Flower Trinket Pins



I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!

  7. Mmmm, yummy texture. The way the flower garland on the tag mimics the flower garland of the lovely ladies is delightful. It's one of those cool details I didn't notice immediately but when I did it just made me sigh and smile. The flowers layered with that unique button treatment is another fun detail. Fab tag!

  18. Oh my, I don't even know which is my favourite part...I love the step-by-step photos showing all the techniques! The green burlap is such a perfect pop of colour with the pink, and the sheer amount of texture just makes me want to pet the whole thing :) Love it!

  19. Your tag is really good, Anita. Those three things seem like they would not go together all that well...but you've managed to create something lovely with them! Love the burlap die cut flower behind the pink flower and then the little burlap string running across the center button! So cute! <3 Candy

  24. Anita, WOW! I just love your tag! You always come up with the most creative and wonderful paper crafts! and thanks for the tutorial on how you did it! I love how everything has a purpose and repeats the theme: the floral garland. Your vintage photo is wonderful, and the green burlap is the perfect soft, rustic addition.

  26. I love what you've been doing with denim and burlap in your last few projects! What a great idea to color the burlap the way you did in this tag and run it up the middle. The flowers, the corrugated heart and the vintage image....wow....simply shabby chic perfection!!
