So Tuesday Taggers sepia theme......
I bought this stamp of Ophelia a while ago off ebay but cant remember what make she is but I absolutely love her. Such a delicate creature!
I stamped her on white card with an old momento pad (I keep these for when I dont want a strong black image) then lightly coloured her with TH Antique linen. Made the frame by stamping and embossing a Melissa Frances frame cutting a wide surround inking with TH inks and bashing it about a bit!
The paper weight is a cheapy from poundland just stamped coloured and a ribbon fastened around then slipped into the glass. Not a brilliant photo though, it's difficult to photo shiny objects, but you get the idea?
It's a great challenge this week and everyone definately has the right stuff to have a go, if you havn't got inks why not try tea or coffee to colour your sepia, it works a treat!
Have a look here at the DT creations for some great ideas.
See you soon

These are fab. love the image she is so picture perfect. And looks wonderful in the Paper weight too.
Such rich golden coloirs. stunning
These are both stunning Michelle. She is beautiful isn't she. Your frame is beautiful and the paper weight is an exact match. They work so well as a pair.
I shall definitely be having a go at this one although it won't be up to your standards.

I've been looking out for your post so that I can say how wonderful I think these projects are. They are both equally brilliantly done, and would also look great in my living room, so another challenge for me to try something similiar:)
We used to sell the Ophelia stamp YEARS ago, it was by a company called Stampsmith, I have always loved this stamp, she is so beautiful. I must dig her out, I'm sure I still have her somewhere!
