Stopping in for a minute tonight to share a project made with a Printable Collage from Made by Janet called Antique Envelopes. I love her designs, she is a favorite artist of mine, and to be able to print them at home and add my own touches makes them even more enjoyable to work with.
After assembling this first envelope, I embellished it with a metal flourish from a new favorite shop of mine called Red Lead. Their blog is so much fun to peruse through with endless amounts of creative ideas shared.
The tag is die cut using the Tiny Tags collection and is stamped with Papertrey Ink's Tag-its #5 set.
The chipboard crown is from Maya Road painted with acrylic paint and coated in glitter. The beautiful aqua sequins and vintage ticket were gifts given to me by my friend Mish, and the Cabbage Roses ribbon is from Memriemare in Peony.
That's all I have for you tonight. Thanks for being patient with me as my posts are a bit spread out. I love having my house noisy and messy and chaotic with my little shadow filling my time.
See you soon.
Melis
Breath-taking!

Although I haven't written any comments the last few weeks...I never missed reading a post. But with a sick child in the hospital ( he had surgery andhe is now on the mend) I really had to step back.
And now getting back in the swing of things I stumbled upon this GORGEOUS post. As always Melissa; this is pure beauty. You never cease to amaze me.
I hope you are doing well; you wrote in one of your previous posts that you stepped back from a few DT.
Wishing you a wonderful summer with Sierra at home :) and your family....

Melis, if you're ever in St Louis, you MUST visit Red Lead Paperworks store. Those two sisters and their store are magical and vintage-y and sweet and very retro!! Just up your alley. Hugs for today.
