Inspired

Found this empty shell recently in the driveway. This image came to me via the PIF threads at scs a very long time ago, all i remember about who makes it is its from a large set of images that are clear ( why i didnt buy it and I *think* something like craft secrets?something like that) at any rate it has some various shades of distress ink color dusted onto it. This is 6" in real life, the forest branches cuttlebug folder was used on the kraft then an classic oval die cut the shape along the bottom. the sentiments from Hampton Arts, the Brads are from paperstudio (Thanks Pansy!) the heart brad is from MM, the fabric yo-yo's are from wimpole street and have been sprayed with Seaglass & Sage glimmer mist. Sentiment on this one is an hampton arts dollar stamp. the lace is vintage. used some metal green seam binding sprayed with seaglass and sage glimmer mist through the holes. (the sprays are so similar to the original color of the binding its not visible even in person) That sheer meshy flower under the yo-yo is from MM. Some May Arts ribbon through the sentiment tag at the top. isnt that ribbon a kick? first time i seen it the "I want" set in... no I didn't sew it, its an May Arts ruffled satin in a 5/8" that I was able to get from Julies new online store ( she's moved out of etsy) and the new store Paper & Such is open now. The little doily (kaiser craft) and natural burlap (May Arts) are also from Julies store. That burlap is fun stuff, the texture of its almost like angora sweater for thread... Unity stamps mega teacup with an Impression Obsession sentiment. these were stamped with versafine inks, dragged an colorbox cocoa cats eye around the kraft panel edge. The inside has an Hero Arts congratulations sentiment inside. This one's 6" in real life also.
