It's Tag Friday at A Vintage Journey


It is Tag Friday at A Vintage Journey today - lots of tags on display for viewing or inspiration!
Mine is from the same series I created for the Texture challenge in May. Sometimes I find it is easier to make a few things (if they are small) at once - meaning I can move embellishments around to see what works. This is what I did here - I actually made five at once, moving elements between one and the other.

I find composition one of the most critical things in whether something works or not - and it is often just trial and error - and often I get it wrong!

The background was stamped in versamark and white embossing powder added - the tickets down the left hand side. I added grunge paste through Tim's stripe stencil before getting to play with my Distress inks!
Not a great photo this one - sorry. I die cut some cogs (Spellbinders) - the top one is embossed with Frantage aged taupe embossing enamel and then inked to create more colour contrast.

A game spinner, number salvage sticker, a sentiment and one of Tim's car stamps complete this little tag.


Thanks for looking
