Vintage Travel Tag
Hello dearies! I hope you are all well and good. We are having cooler weather in my neck of the woods. I miss the 90's and above but most people seem to enjoy the 70's. I spent a little bit of time in my art room to create a new tag for our challenge over at SanDee&Amelie's Steampunk challenge where of theme is Anything Goes Steampunk/Industrial. I haven't created a tag for what seems to be months so thought I would see what happened.
I started with a Kraft tag and added an Andy Skinner stencil with DI.
Then layered the word panel stamped with an Artistic Stamper word stamp, heat embossed and crinkled on top of the tag. Then swiped some distress ink over it and around the edges. The metal trinkets were glued with glossy accents. The metal sentiment was adhered with rusty wire and glossy accents.
I heat embossed the little car with champagne EP and fussy cut it to fit the bottom of the tag. The stamp was a gift from Bubbles aka Pamellia @ mylittlecraftthings. The windows were colored with a black marker.
Hope to see you try your hat at anything Steampunk and be in the draw for some wonderful prizes! Hugz! Carpe Diem!

ReplyDeleteWelcome back Niki! What a great voyage tag! Reminds me of those days people would come home from long voyages with all kinds of tags attached to their trunks. I like how you challenged yourself to go minimal, I find that hard to do! xx maura
ReplyDeleteHi Niki what a great tag,super colours,textures and details.It's perfect for our travel challenge over at Country View. Thanks so much for joining in xx
ReplyDeletePunkin' this is a wonderful steamy-punky kind of tag with some of my favorite things on it! Love your stenciling-so crisp and perfect. And that "wood" tag looks more like leather to me which I love just a little more than wood, but it's all good! Great text stamp and looks superfine embossed! Lucky you to get that vintage car stamp from Pamellia--it looks great as an embellishment in that vintage embossing powder! This is seriously one of my favorites of yours! big hugs! PS You inspired me to enter my metallic butterfly card in SAASPC!
