Vintage lace & Grunge cuff

Brrrrr still so cold , think I should have a go at a touch of altered art on my trusty hot water bottle or perhaps I could make a patchwork cover for it instead LOL!

 Anyway a little bit of lace and some grunge paper and today for my vintage cuff.  I painted the grunge paper with cream emulsion then stamped the Tim Holtz papillon text stamp in embossing ink and white embossing powder, and then rubbed a little old paper distress ink. 

As the grunge paper is a little thin I glued two layers together before stitching and adding the buttons, pearls and some seed beads.  I used the tim holtz tattered florals die and some felt, lace and a button to make the flower and to finish I used a hitch fastener as a closure.

Pictures are a bit rubbish as the white was difficult to photograph.

Thanks for all your lovely comments and Happy Crafting XX
