I so enjoyed making my Tim Holtz inspired tag last week that I decided to join the Vintage Journey challenge and play Tic Tac Toe with them! I selected Ideology/metal, Sprays and Ribbon/Twine.
I started with a small piece of patterned paper as I am still trying to use more of the stuff ! This came from a freebie in a magazine (Home Grown from Hot Off The Press). To the right I created a panel with sprays, a home made reddish brown made with Distress Inks reinkers, and a blue Prima Bloom.
This is my first test with the spray and it is more powerful than the Tattered Angels ones so beware cover your surfaces!
I used a Crafter Workshop stencil with the sprays and finished with an Ideology Mask/stencil and Walnut DI.
The main image is stamped with the dogs from the True Gentleman plate (Flonzcraft), distressed with Antique Linen & Walnut DI, matted on a very old patterned paper from Sizzix (I do believe my first paper purchase, and yes I still have most of it!).
I created 2 tags with an Impression Obsession die, colour matched to my paper with DI and overstamped with one of the matching stamps for the die set in red ink. I used the tags for the sentiment (from my own collection).
To finish I used twine, and a metal embellishment to which I applied black alcohol ink to the recesses. This isn't an Ideology piece but something I saved from the bin!
An old sticker (another magazine freebie) pulls the theme together and injects a bit of bright colour.
Thanks for coming by,
