LOTV sentiment card with Maja Design papers and Tim Holtz elements

Hi all & today I'm thrilled to be sharing another card I made for LOTV, this time using their 'Vintage Sentiments - Just to Say' stamps.
 
 
 
I added the sentiment as the main focus in a Martha Stewart handmade clay frame. Underneath the banner shape I first added some shading with Antique Linen Distress Ink using a blending tool, I then stamped chicken wire in Walnut Stain, before adding shabby white Frantage embossing powder.
 
 
The beautiful vintage papers are by Maja design. I've used Core'dinations Whitewash cardstock on the matting & Layering and inked and sanded the edges. Paper edges have been inked with Antique Linen & Walnut Stain Distress Inks using a blending tool then machine stitched.
 
 
Flourish is by Tim Holtz, I added Snow Tex then coloured with Tumbled Glass Distress Stain.I added Shabby Blue Frantage to the banner itself. Flowers and charm all available from Live & Love Crafts.
 
 
Above shows hidden lace detail - I ripped the side of the paper, inked and sewn around the edge & added lace lined up with the edges.
 
I'd like to enter into the following challenges:
Cards Galore - A Tim Holtz Homage
Colour Q - Colour challenge
Flourishes Timeless Tuesday - Black Accents (sentiment)
Our Creative Corner - Anything Goes
Stampin' Royalty - Photo inspiration
Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes

Thanks for looking!

Gorgeously shabby chic and I love it! The paper looks wonderful with all the layers you've built up. I love the crackled bird hiding there.
Thanks so much for joining us this time at Our Creative Corner. Juliax
