Mojo Monday #109 on a Wednesday!

This has been a busy week scrapping and making cards, oh and housework too! (LOL) So I haven't had much time to do all my challenges. I'm getting some done at least and that makes me happy. So many challenges, so little time. ;) I found time today to do the Mojo Monday Challenge 109. I did some distressing of the edges, used Ranger distress ink in Broken China, clear embossed a Hero Arts stamped image, then added more distress ink. I also used some distress embossing in Walnut Stain on one of the dark leaves. The patterned paper is from Stampin' Up and the ribbon is from Maya Road. The leaves & acorn, I just love, is Autumn Splendor from Stampin' Up.

And here is a close-up of the distress embossing...

Some Distressing...

For the Cupcake Craft Challenge #58, I created some distressed gift tags. For the one on the left I used a sponge with Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Tea Dye. I used Worn Lipstick Distress ink on the flower and finished it off with some bling. I cut a stem from some green paper and wrapped it with ribbon. I used scrapbooker's floss for the hole at the top.
For the 2nd tag I used a sponge with Ranger Tim Holtz Peeled Paint first. Then I placed my mini Tim Holtz mask over it and sponged it with Weathered Wood. I love masking now! :) It was super easy and fun to use. The flower on this tag is actually a paper scallop punch that I rubbed in water and Worn Lipstick and perfect pearls in Forever Red (which is hard to see). It created a nice faded look with some shimmer. I then cut each petal and creased it a little to look like a flower. I finished it with some Hero Arts bling.
Lastly, I stamped them with Stampin' Up stamps "Yummy".
I love making these tags! I think I might have to make some for Christmas gifts this year!
