FTTC195 All Natural ... and it's Release Week!!

~

Hello, everyone, and happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for the newest Timeless Tuesday challenge and since it's also new release week, our fabulous Senior Design Team will be joining in on the challenge today!

Denise is our hostess this week and she's asked us to use this as inspiration for an All Natural creation:

Today we're thrilled to introduce you to the latest in the In and Out collection - Just Because.  This is certainly one of the most versatile sets you can add to your stamp collection.

I've chosen to use mine to create a birthday tag/bookmark.

The base tag was ivory and I colored it with my Distress stain in Frayed Burlap, then sponged the edges in Distress Frayed Burlap ink.  The color seemed to soak into the tag instead of lying on top, so I decided to also use the stain dauber to create some splotches and immediately clear emboss them.  It worked to add more of the darker color to the tag.

The sentiment itself was also clear embossed using Distress Frayed Burlap ink and Brushed Corduroy ink on Flourishes Classic Ivory cardstock.  I cut several fishtail banners from my Basic Grey Nook & Cranny 6x6 paper pad and other cardstock and sponged their edges with Antique Linen and Frayed Burlap ink.  I layered a paper doily onto the tag, and then all my various fishtail banners.  The tag is topped with a bow in ribbon and also in twine.

I really love this natural color palette and hope you do too!  Won't you please play along with us?  You can find all the details at the Flourishes blog, and don't forget to visit with all the designers to see their fabulous creations using this awesome new stamp set:
