I found this fab digi stamp on the free vintage digi stamps blog, I printed it on a laser printer* so I could use the distress inks over the top. I distressed the edges with a distressing tool and mounted on a tag that I had cut from Kraft cardstock. For the backing paper I used Distress Inks again to colour the sheet then over stamped using a script stamp, again I distressed the edges with a distressing tool and curled a corner up.
I added some string, a couple of buttons, flowers and pearls to finish off.
*A tip for anyone who doesn't know, if you would like to use digi stamps with distress inks, print your image using a laser printer and the inks wont smudge it, when you use an inkjet printer the distress inks tend to smudge the image.

A stunning card! I love the tag, is it a die and if so, would you mind letting me know which one? or did you make it yourself? Thank you for the tip about the printer. xx
Hi April what a lovely vintage card you have made! I love the image it really looks lovely on your card. I had heard that about laser printers but I don't have one and you also have to use water colour paper when you colour with them, I'm still undecided about them and only used mine once! Have a good weekend hugs Susan x
