My tag started with a painted and crackled background, why I have no idea as I was going to cover most of it anyway! Once I was done with that, I die cut a second tag from tissue paper and cut to various lengths and angles, trimming off a little at edges, so some background would show through. Each tissue piece was stamped with Archival Sepia and shaded with Vintage Stain then glued down.
You can actually see a little of the crackle through the tissue paper.
This old time vehicle reminds me of the cars I learned to drive in! Cars were pretty big back then and perfect size for going to the drive-ins!
Added some dimension with pop ups and embossed the "Route 66" sign and "Road Trip."
Tim's gear fit just perfectly inside of a bottle cap and I added a fairly large washer for a tire, which I thought worked out well!
Hope you enjoyed your "Road Trip" with me and I thank you for stopping by! There is still plenty of time to join in the June Monthly Referral Program, using those most fabulous AO stamps!
Awesome - LOVE the Route 66 images with the Americana theme! Love the crackle peeking through.

Hi Terry, sorry if you end up with 2 posts from me it's because the first disappeared and I have no idea why.
ReplyDeleteThese are fab stamps and you've certainly done them justice. I love the technique of cutting the tissue paper up before applying it and the gear in the bottle top is genius! A fab tag! Have a great day! Chris xxx
