Finally back for Tag Friday at A Vintage Journey
Hello friends, - as you can see after having been away from home and blogging for nearly two months I am finally back to share a tag which I made for A Vintage Journey
When I started with this tag I had no idea where I was going, but after numerous layers of paints, inks sprays and papers, this is what was the result, - vintage shabby chic.
The roses in the background are a paper napkin, the little girl is of course one of Tim Holtz's paper dolls. There is stamping and stenciling in the background as you can see.
Under several layers of paint and gesso, there are some vintage book pages as well as a background stamp by Wendy Vecchi.
And then it is all finished off with a wax seal spamp and some washi tape underneath the twine.
Well, there you have it, a vintage shabby chic tag. If you would like to get some more tag inspiration do head over to the Vintage Journey Blog
Oh and there is also a special announcement about some amazing new teamies that are going to join our team. Do head over, I promise, you will not be disappointed.

Just got a whole lot of new stamps from a brilliant place called the Stamp Smith. This is the image that I first saw on Docraft and really liked. I asked the friend who has used it in an ATC, where she got it. Well she borrowed it from a friend who got it from ebay as a one off. But.... it had a title. I googled the title, and hey presto found the site. They have great stamps and offer a really friendly fast service. I highly recommend them!
