WOW ... can you believe we are near the end of January already???
AND ...
It's time for another fun challenge at SHELLY'S IMAGES!
Today's challenge is:
"TEXT ME"
(Use Text/Sentiment on the front of your project)

Each image the DT members use on their creations, will be offered at a REDUCED PRICE - TODAY ONLY at the STORE. So be sure to check out the team's creations and go grab those images at a fabulous price today!
I LOVE vintage design and thought this sentiment digi called "Key To My Heart" would work fabulously ... and it did!
After printing out my sentiment, I saw this music panel laying on my worktable that I had prepared for another creation but then changed my mind ... and thought I'd incorporate it here and I'm so glad I did ... I really like the outcome of this card.
Recipe:
Papers: White & Black cs, Hot Of The Press 'Music Score' dp, Gold metallic cs
Inks: Tim Holtz Distress Inks ... Broken China, Tea Dye & Scattered Straw
Accessories: Tim Holtz Distress Stain ... Wild Honey, Picket Fence, Tattered Angel Glimmer Mist Bronze, Spellbinder Vintage Die set for Lock & Key, Wilton Gold Doily, Zutter Distrezz-it-All, Stampendous Diamond Dots
I bought these TH Distress Stains last fall while attending a workshop at Joan's Gardens ... and other than doing the project for the workshop, I hadn't used them at all ... some aren't even open yet! MY BAD! That is until today!
After attaching my music score paper to my card front, I sponged around the edges using TH Tea Dye Distress INK ... that didn't seen like enough so I grabbed this dauber topped bottle of TH Wild Honey Stain and did a bit of 'swishing' ... seemed a little to dark so I grabbed the bottle of TH Picket Fence Stain and did a little more 'swishing' and VIOLA !... the antique look I was hoping for!
