Guess What...IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY! WOOHOO!!!!!
Well, I had a lovely treat this past weekend and went to Vernon BC and spent the weekend at Sparkling Hill Resort. It was the prettiest place I have ever stayed and my husband and I spent the weekend "Spa'ing"! Truth be told my husband had a work function we attended at the Resorts Ballroom so we sucked it up and spent the day being pampered. As a Thank You to the people that planned this lovely weekend I made them a tag.
I picked up these Glitz stamps last week. I love this vintage Ferris Wheel. I stamped and clear embossed to get it top POP once the distress ink was smooched on.
Check out this ticket. These were the "drink" tickets we used. I kept mine and used one on the tag. I added a mini vintage clip and hammered out these snaps. I stamped a vintage invoice for the background. All these elements tie in the early days of this industry.
Check out these letters in wood. Found these at Walmart for $1.
I kept this tag simple to make the stamp, letters and ticket pop. Keeping the colour tones with the vintage look of my husbands family business back from the early 1900's. The family business sold but my husband is still in the industry and I'm profoundly proud of him.
Back for a moment to the spa because I have to tell you what I did if you didn't already hear! I went forced to a Cold Sauna...that would be 3 min spent in -110C. We created our own snow. There are not words to tell you how cold it was. We went into the sauna's, steam rooms, salt water pools and I had a volcanic mud wrap. Ya, it was pretty awesome.
