Created for the Hero Arts tags challenge and Thinking Inking.

I stamped the H4918 Windy Tree image on a piece of tissue paper with black archival ink (Ranger).

I painted the fabric remnant with blue acrylic paint, then put the tissue paper on top and added more paint. After drying, I sewed around the edges and added color to the image with markers and glitter pens.

The friend background paper is from the new Hero Arts "Friendship Definition" DigiKit. I printed it out really big and aged it with Tea Dye distress ink. I added the paper and fabric to the kraft card, distressed the edges, punched a hole and added ribbon for the tie. The "many thanks" sentiment is also Hero Arts, but I don't have the number handy.

I need more practice on the tissue paper and sewing, but at least Jennifer's class inspired me to break out two things that don't get much use -- my acrylic paints and my sewing machine!

Thanks for looking!
