TgiF - Vintage

I had a great weekend at Chateaulin's Artisan'Arts marché de Noël selling lots and seeing the wonderful variety of other people's artistic creations. I like to demo at these events and one of the things I made was this little suitcase with the 'Thank God it's Friday' theme of Vintage in mind. It is from Debbie's Die-cuts and I covered it with K&Co paper, inking the edges with Brilliance Cosmic Copper. I used that to stamp (Inkadinkado's Travel Time) decoration on to the case and to create some charms from brown card. I used a 7 gypsies binding ring to hook everything together with some ribbon and fibres.
Also using some of Debbie's die-cuts I made some favours/ tree decorations: The pyramids are stippled with luminescent paint that shines gold in the light (failed miserably in the photo!) and have Cuttlebug Ice Crystals stuck on. I dabbed Broken China Distress Ink inside the Swirls embossing folder before running the die-cut for the little box through. I love that technique but not sure why this ink pooled to spots?
