The theme for the Tag Tuesday challenge blog is VINTAGE.
Vintage is easy when any of the Tim Holtz paper dolls are involved.
I started this tag by die cutting the tag shape from digital printable paper I purchased from Etsy. I stenciled a brick wall with Transparent Texture paste tinted with Distress Oxide Spray Antique Linen. It didn’t show as well as I hoped it would so I lightly blended over the bricks with Archival ink Potting Soil. That was more the look I was after.
I then die cut another tag shape from a sturdier paper, 98lb Canson Mix Media to sandwich the printed papers onto. I then added my ephemera pieces and inked around the outside edges.
I didn’t need to do much on the back as the paper was doing all the work for me. I just added some text with a favorite ‘Curiosity’ stamp and the date. I also stamped the same text on the seam binding.
Vintage and grunge are a favorite style of tag for me.
This tag challenge runs through Monday the 12th of July. Come join in the fun.

ReplyDeleteI personally love how you used the brick wall stencil. It turned out great. The TH Dolls always work well with vintage, but the beauty of it all is you created a sensational entry that used standard products, but were so much more when they were put in your hands and creative touch. Impressive work, dear.
ReplyDeleteWow Annie, you are amazing! This tag is just so perfect, even the back!! You truly are inspirational! Thanks for sharing with us at Tag Tuesday!
