Hello everyone and happy Friday! It being the last Friday of the month in a month that has 5 Fridays means the Design Team at A Vintage Journey share some Tim inspired tags, and here is mine.
I then created by background with the help of some Remnant Rubs, background stamps and Tissue Tape and added colour with Walnut Stain and Black Soot Distress inks.
My focal image (from a very old Tim Stamp set called Winged Things) was stamped in Black Versa Fine ink, and fussy cut. I then stamped her dress again with a Faber Castell Big Brush pen to add that reddish colour. I paper pieced that on and then added some further little details with pens, I also added the little heart just for fun. Once she was glued in place on the tag, I added shadows to make her pop a bit more.
The metal piece at the top started life as a bright silver filigree piece. I first added sand paste to it, then black Gesso and finally some Antiquing Cream to create some rusty effects. I then added a little Ideaology heart charm on top of that.
Oh and don't forget, there's still about a week left to play along with our Spring Colours challenge too.
Hope to see you there!
Thank you for visiting like always and have a great weekend!!

Love this, Astrid! And that you made your own stencil from a wonderful die set, no less! Thank you for saying how you re-stamped the dress in red - I was wondering how did you get it so perfectly aligned, lol! And thanks so much for your visit and wonderful comments, also. You always inspire me, and I appreciate your time to look at my efforts :-) xxx Lynn
so beautiful Astrid...loving all the layers!
How pretty is this! Love seeing everyone's tags.
what a beautiful textured background you created on your tag Astrid! I love that winged things image - the touches of red in dress and metal piece and the lovely sentiments on this! Have a wonderful weekend! Julia xx

As always you´ve made a wonderful piece of art here again Astrid, I love how you made the metal piece to look this old and rusty and everything on this tag looks fabulous.
Have a wonderful week-end ahead now.
Wonderful ideas on this amazing tag Astrid. I love to see the crumpled matching ribbon on projects and you have fastened it with something a bit different. Always something new on your projects to inspire us.
Love Chrissie xx

Dear Astrid, a wonderful and also sweet tag, with the winged thing girl in her red dress.
Your metal piece is gorgeous, and the way you did the background with the selfmade stencil looks fantastic, and with so many things to discover there. I love your tag.
