HOWDY.....Yvonne Blair Designs Fans!!!

I hope you had a WONDERFUL Memorial Day Weekend.

I also hope you had the opportunity to take a moment and remember
those who gave all for our Freedom!

Memorial Day signals the beginning of Summer,
yard sales and antiquing season....BRING IT ON!

I had the opportunity to do a bit of junkin' on Saturday.

I bought some lace, 36' of pull chain and some old books.

So....I figured I would combine my new "found" objects,

 my new red rubber from
Yvonne Blair Designs/Impression Obsession

 and my new Distress Oxide Ink Pads!!

ALMOST TOOO MUCH LOVE all in one spot!

First, I watched Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Demo.

Then, I pulled out the little darlings and began to play.

I smeared,

I spritzed,
I dipped and rubbed.....

and created this BEAUTIFUL tag.

I pulled out a bit of vintage lace.

Next, I smeared the Distress Oxides on my craft mat

and spritzed with a bit of water.

With a flat brush I painted the lace. 

For the flower, I diecut a piece of vintage fabric.

I repeated the "smear and spritz" technique

and applied color to my flower.

I wanted to create leaves so I combined

fossilized amber and broken china to achieve the color green.

I then painted my new color onto a bit of Tissuestock.

I chose one of
