Hello and Happy Friday! Father's Day is fast approaching (here in the States, it's this Sunday, the 19th of June) so I've had a play with a bit of ink and stenciling to create a Vintage Tag.
I'm not great at creating Vintage or Shabby Chic themes but I've had the Tim Holtz Paper Dolls in my stash for a long time, so I thought to myself "a challenge is a good thing"..and it helps creativity.
Using a Mixed Media Tag from Joggles, I ink smooshed Distress Inks in shades of Blue and Brown to layer some color. In between dries, I stamped clock and text images using the same distress ink colors. I also stenciled splats and drips.
I've fussy cut clock and timer images from ephemera I have in my stash and adhered to the tag, as well as washi tape. I've adhered the paper dolls flat and traced around with a fine liner black pen, then adhered quotes from the Tim Holtz Small Talk Sticker pack. Lastly, I tied some seam binding, thread and twine to the tag and called it complete.
I will give this to my hubby for Father's Day, the back is blank and ready for a sentiment. Maybe he will hang it from the rear view mirror in his truck.
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
