This week we're prompted to use canvas and at least one Studio 490 stamp in the Wendy Vecchi yahoo group challenge.
I've used Claudine's Sticky Back Canvas and Tim's (Sizzix) flourish die for mine.
I was inspired by Julia's recent creation to use an On-the-Edge Sizzix die as a hanging border; I used the iron gate for mine and attached it with XL eyelets using the Crop-o-Dile.
I've used lots of lots of Wendy's Studio 490 stamps on this one along with distress and archival inks.
The large flourish stamp is Tim's and thebird is a favorite from Stampers Anonymous.
Simon Says Stamp and Show has No Rules this week, so I'll enter this there as well.
Thanks so much for the visit!

Gosh...this is maybe my favorite to date. I love the three diamonds stamped/stenciled on the left. The iron gate border adds such a fun surprise at the bottom of the tag. The bird, flying toward the sky, is so uplifting! And I love that warm "river" of orangey gold that runs through the center of the piece. Magnificent!
