I knew when I saw this Sassy Cheryl digital stamp that I wanted to create an antiqued look using tea dye ink. It's a style I'd like to do more often but it takes just the right image for this look.
After coloring my image with prisma pencils, I sponged Tim Holtz' tea dye ink over the cardstock, with more concentration on the edges. It softened the colors and gave it an aged look.
This little clothespin teddy bear was part of my inspiration.. she's been with me for over 25 years and she has that tea-dye look too. Working on this shabby-chic, distressed look is a style I promised myself I would work on this year as one of my goals. What do you think?
Thanks so much for stopping by..'til next time, be safe in all you do.
