Welcome to June and a new Country View Challenge, which I have the pleasure of hosting!
Regular followers will know I have a thing about Vintage so, yes, this is my choice of theme for this month.
And today I have not one but TWO inspiration makes for you, both with lots of Tim Holtz products since he is very much a master of the genre!
Here's the first:
I started with a blank piece of 7"x5" cardstock and stamped the Stampers Anonymous/Tim Holtz Exquisite Stamp Set (CMS453) in a light sand colour.
I used pencils to colour the image and stencilled the Stampers Anonymous/Tim Holtz mini stencil set 10 (MST010) with green ink.
I then aged my page with Distress inks in a combination of Walnut Stain and Antique Linen.
The embellishment cluster is composed of several items from the Tim Holtz® Idea-ology™ - Ephemera Field Notes Snippets (TH94049), a paper doll, bits of paper ribbon lace (Lakeland) and a frame highlighted with metallic waxes.

My second make is much brighter but the imagery is still very much Vintage:
My second make is much brighter but the imagery is still very much Vintage:
The tag base is a sturdy piece of white Mixed Media cardstock onto which I collaged pieces of Tim Holtz® Idea-ology™ Botanical Collage Paper (TH93705).
I stencilled some Ranger Texture paste (transparent matte) through a bit of die-cut cardstock (I used an old Memory Box die).
I sprayed the tag with a combination of Distress and Distress Oxides sprays and sprinkled some Brushos as well.
When dry, I added colour with Distress crayons to the leaves and flower and darkened the edges with Walnut Stain ink.
Finally the focal point is made of the TH/Idea-ology Ephemera Field Notes Snippets (TH94049), a paper doll and die-cuts from the Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 5PK Wildflower Stems #2.
A spattering of white acrylic paint, some Nuvo drops pearls and voila..
