Hello everyone, hope you all had an amazing time over the festive period in whatever way you celebrate.
Today it is
Tag Friday over at A Vintage Journey, here is my tag:
Whenever there are 5 Fridays in a month, the DT share a tag on the
Vintage Journey blog, so if you are looking for some inspiration from my talented teamies, make sure to hop over.
Here is a quick overview of how I put mine together, mostly using bits and pieces leftover from previous projects.
I cut two tags with the largest of the Tim Holtz thinlits tag die from two bits of leftover paper, adhered them partially together and rolled the left top corner of the top one down, to show the one below.
This is easier if you carefully dampen the corner before you roll. I also added a little die cut to the bottom.
Next I gathered some embellishments, leftover from my Christmas card making. The little clock is a Prima IOC mold made with paperclay.
Now all that was left to do was put it all together, moving things around until I was happy with the result.
The greenery, berries and little roses, all dabbed with a bit of gesso for a wintry look, were tucked in at the top.
The little clock was antiqued with the help of some paints and dry brushed with gesso.
A couple of Tim's word stickers added because it felt as if it needed something still.
And that was pretty much it.... Shabby chick with a touch of grunge..... If you would like to see some more amazing tags do hop over to

Wishing you all the best for the rest of this month and of course for the New Year too!!!
