UNCLE SAM LOOKING MIGHT DANDY ~ MEGS GARDEN NEW RANGE OF PAPERS

Good afternoon ,on this sunny day.

Recently I received a box of goodies from Megs Garden . Oh my, anyone that knows me, knows that I am a bit partial to Vintage. The new range Vintage Journal , you can imagine pleases me to no end and I just wanted to sit down and create with it straight away. 
This is what I created

Uncle Same looking mighty dandy

How perfect is this paper ! This is my Grandmother's brother Sam.

also the image from the Cut and Create in the range is so similar to the way my uncle is standing, so I cut it out and added to my layout.

 so many awesome images for cards, off the page or layouts.

I used Marta's technique of using dried tea leaves for texture. I just mixed texture paste and gesso stirred in the tea leaves and swiped over some old packaging and then inked around the edge for my photo mat. I then added the squibble die and placed my photo on the top. Gives great dimension and texture

The cogs and  pen nib are from my stash , I have embossed them . A lovely copper coloured organza ribbon from Megs Shop adds a lovely softness. I have also added some stamping and thread.
I hope you pop over and check out the gorgeous new ranges , they are all so beautiful . Also I would love you to pop over to the blog and leave some love, the girls on the DT create amazing projects.
The weekend goes way to fast ! bye for now
Love, Peace and Kindness
