Tag Friday @ A Vintage Journey

Hello and welcome to another Tag Friday -

The Creative Guides over at A Vintage Journey are showing some pretty cool tags today so you may want to stop by & see them.

Summer travel seems to be on the minds of lots of folks so I went with Road Trip.  Tim Holtz made it so easy for me with his Road Trip Stamp set.  I already had some tags hanging around so I chose one and put my tag together in a short time.


 
For my background I used Mustard Seed, Rusty Hinge and Peeled Paint Distress Paint.
Edged with Gathered Twigs and then threw in some Tumbled Glass Distress Inks.


I used the images from the stamp set, stamped with black (the gas pump & attendant are stamped in Gathered Twigs) & embossed with clear embossing powder. 


I stamped the car on silver paper then cut it out and popped it up with pop dots.  I made the gas gauge with my electronic cutter and added the Game Spinner.  I decided to make this tag with the hole on the bottom so I could hang some gears. All the products that I used can be found at our lovely sponsor, Country View Crafts, site.
