The background was given a coat of Gesso before using DecoArt Crackle paste through the TH Lace stencil. I've used various watery washes of Antique Linen, Spun Sugar and edged with Tumbled Glass Distress crayon smudged with a baby wipe, before stamping with script and background stamps, using Frayed Burlap. The words were computer generated.
The rest of the DT have some wonderful inspiration for you, so please pop over to the main blog for all the details.
I am entering this at Art Journal Journey where Erika has chosen the theme of Vintage or Modern, this is definitely vintage.
Thanks for calling in, have a great day and I hope to do some catching up with you as soon as the washing's done!
