Growing in Unity - Day 5 - A Thing of Beauty

Sigh...hard to believe that today is the end of my Growing in Unity week - but it has been so much fun! Thanks to all who joined me in this adventure this week! Remember to leave a comment today as well, as I will be drawing a winner sometime tomorrow to choose 2 Itty Bitty stamps! Here is what I made for my final day:

I started off by making the background. I used the Tea Time Pattern Background stamp, clear embossing ink, and stamped on white paper. I then applied Tim Holtz distress ink in Spun Sugar over the top of it - so it colored the paper, and not the area I had embossed. 

I then cut a shape with my Spellbinders Nestabilities, and did the same thing with the boot from the Brave Girl Boots Kit, and distress ink in the color called Old Paper. I left the die on the paper until after I finished inking, so the edge stayed white. 

After that, I stamped the sentiment from the Itty Bitty, A Thing of Beauty, using distress ink in Victorian Velvet.  

I matted the pink embossed paper on white cardstock, then on a Papertrey Ink Cardstock base. 

Layered some burlap on top of those layers...then used some lace and pink chevron ribbon from Ribbon Carousel on top of that. 

Finished off by mounting the boot panel on top, using foam adhesive at the top and bottom.
