Hi friends! Today is a 5th Friday and we celebrate at A Vintage Journey with Tag Friday. Hop on over and see what my uber talented teamies have created for your inspiration. We would love for you to share a tag you've been working on this month.
I had a play with my friend @carolinasweetlee's new Tim Holtz 3D Embossing Folders and we made a number of backgrounds with different techniques. I adhered two portions of my backgrounds made with the Foundry and Mechanics folders to a chipboard tag. These were both done by simply sponging Distress Inks onto the panels. I added various strips of Tim's tissue tape and sanded it with a nail file to remove the sheen.
I embossed a Gadget Gears 2 die with Seth Apter Chunky Rust Baked Texture and tucked it beneath my collage.
I used one of Tim's Fluted Fasteners as my tag topper.
My collage elements are all from an older pack of Tim's Snippets Ephemera. The sentiment is from the Clippings sticker set.
I dyed my sisal fibers with Black Soot. The Paper Doll image was sanded lightly and sponged with Vintage Photo DI. I hope you'll hop on over to A Vintage Journey for more tag inspiration and make sure to share a tag in our link up.
