Travel Tag

Hello everyone, welcome and lovely to have you visiting again in my little corner of blog land. And like always, a very specially warm welcome to my new followers. I feel honoured that you decided to follow me!

Today I am sharing one of the enormous size 12 Ranger tags with you. I love playing with these and this time I decided to use it sideways. I may decide to turn it into the cover of a book. As you can see, it kind of has a travel theme. For those of you who are regulars here, you will know that very soon I am off to Australia, tomorrow is the day we are setting off, so travel is rather on my mind .....

Anyway, the background was created using some Distress paints (Weathered Wood), Inks, again Weathered Wood, Victorian Velvet and Tea Dye. At one point the background was quite subtle with stamping in Plum and Coffee archival, but then a lot of that was covered by embellishments and spritzing with some Cosmic Shimmer and Dylusions sprays. As you can see I also embossed parts of it with a Texture Fade folder. The vocal image is a la Blanche stamp, the other stamps were from the Artistic Stamper the writing and rings and Tim Holtz the little checker board.
Like usual, I'll let the pictures tell the story:

Prima flowers, a butterfly charm, coloured with black Alcohol ink and some wired string (hard to see on this photo) which I curled around a paint brush.The word journey was stamped on some tissue paper and then adhered to a part of a Tattered Banner die by Mr Holtz again.

Here you can see the string a bit better

A lovely Prima clock

A wonderful La Blanche stamp and the backing paper was created with the help of an old stamp I had flying around, I think it was a Paper Artsy one

For the next few weeks as I am visiting my grand daughter, it is going to be a bit quieter here, but I have some projects scheduled and I definitely will come and visit as much as I can, to see what you are creating...

Well, there you have it, hope you like it and see you next time. Thank you for visiting!!
