Make this journey your own.

So life here is busy, busy but I made this tag couple of weeks ago and have found a snippet of time to blog it ...so here it is :

I am still so in love with the new distress oxides and enjoying my playtime with them and eagerly awaiting news to see if more colours will be coming...I do hope so!

So for the background on this tag I used iced spruce and vintage photo..

For the background of the tag I applied these straight to the tag and spritzed and layered ... I also created another piece , to use to die cut from  using walnut stain distress oxide and distress ink and iced spruce distress oxide , applied to craft sheet , spritzed and dipped into..

I just love the gorgeous textures and drops of colour this creates ...I edged the tag in walnut stain distress ink

I then placed a stencil on - Tim Holtz chevron 024 and applied some water through using blending foam which removes some of the colour and dried and added some journey and vintage tape from the new sets ...

I due cut the houses using metropolis thinlits from Tim Holtz...using the pre-prepared piece of card and inked edges using ground espresso distress ink.

Now for the details...I added these onto the base layering some on 3-d foam to create depth ...a clippings sticker, cut and edged with ink, some dyed seam binding, rub ons and plenty of my much loved idea-ology..

I cant get enough of the film strip and mini attacher staples.. for that added detail..

and here are the fab die cuts with all those inky splatters..and a bit of rusty wire ..

So hope you like my make , a simple playtime tag full of Tim Holtz yumminess!

So I am off for some more GCSE maths lessons to sort ,, among other things ..

whatever your day brings hope its a good one ..
