Quick Shabby Chic

I guess winning the Ranger Ink Easter Egg Hunt inspired me to get back to some stamping. I didn't even know about it until 20 minutes beforehand, thanks to reading about it on their Twitter feed. I don't yet know what my prize is.

I decided on a simple shabby chic tag since I don't do a lot embossing. One of things that strikes me getting back into distress techniques the the variety of options to achieving a similar/same result. For instance, instead of leaving the clear embossing on, I could have remelted and lifted it, as in the faux batik technique. Instead of pigment ink to stamp the sentiment, I could have used acrylic paint. Or Perfect Medium with Perfect Peals if I wanted something subtler.
