I bought some dies from AMuse recently, and thought I would try them out. One is the swallow, which comes in a set of two (the other swallow is small enough to fit on an inchie!), and the sentiment is stamped on one of the vintage labels set.
The paper is the same Tim Holtz Shabby Vintage, only this is the design on the back of the paper I used yesterday. The stamp is out of the dollar bins at Joann. those acrylic stamps don't hold ink well but if you tap them in Versamark before the regular ink, they work okay. The ink is the Fired Brick distress ink, which really warms up the cool colors of the Shabby Vintage.
