Hello everyone,
Well, we had the coldest weekend ever, it was freezing, I even had the heat pump on and watch my power gauge rise frantically, but I didn't care, it was COLD!! and I spent most my time watching old movies under a blanket with Holly..
I'm sharing some more tags today with a travel theme..
Choosing a stencil, this took the longest, just about.
selected three as I mostly do things in three's
I also have these packets of washi stickers that are awesome, so many bits inside
top lay with, so bought a bucket load of them..
I chose several bits, put into three bundles ready
to make ephemera..
I made my ephemera and stapled things together
then time to emboss with Mont Marte modeling paste.
I know the shadow is annoying, but the paste showed up better under my shadow
as I had the lights on on this dreary cold winters day..
Inky time..
squirt squirt, then water, let it run..
fun..
Blue and brown mix, beautiful.
Then vintage photo and Mica Stain
Jack-O- Lantern
and brown and green, forest Moss, and vintage photo..
I LOVE the distress ink so much better than oxides, but
each to their own..
an ephemera cluster done and ready to go on, but which one!!
TH suitcases, BUT, I made them smaller to fit my tag by, die cutting them, gluing them etc, then photo graphing them and shrinking them in my editing program so you can end up with all different sizes for different projects..
I stamped the passport sign from Creative Expressions collection
and glued it onto a black name tag
added some cargo numbers dies onto
this ephemera cluster.
I die cut a world globe and cut it in half, stamped world
stamp discs and punched them out..
This is where the first ephemera went and more suitcases.
and there all are together, I was in my element on this day..
thank you soi much for stopping by..
I'll see you soon..
Luv CHRISSYxx

Wonderful tags Chrissy. So clever how you put them together!
Here, at the other side of the world, we'll have a heatwave from tomorrow......
Oooh, these are fantastic male vintage designs. Great colors and decorative ephemera. Love them all but especially the blue one with the hot air balloon caught my eye. Great achievement having a vintage look with more colors.

I spoke to my NZ friend at the weekend and she said it had turned rather cool!
But you kept well occupied making this super collection and so pleased you shared one with us at Tag-Along (and ATC's) challenge, a lovely vintage travel theme, thank you.

Stunning tags. Hope your furry helper was doing a good job. lol Anesha
Amazing tags, Chrissy. Thanks for sharing your background process. I love them!
You always do such a fabulous job on your backgrounds and putting your ephemera together in just the best way, these are all fabulous, but the middle is my favorite!
WOW - amazing vintage-feel travel-themed tags! Love all the inkiness and ephemera. x
Your tags look amazing Chrissy! I love your mix of sprays over the texture and those film strip accents are really awesome with all of your details! Nicely done! I wish I could send you some of our awful humidity your way as it's been so hot over here. Stay warm and cozy my friend!
Stunning projects, Chrissy!!! I love the embellishments on them all, and that vintage feel. I'll take some of your cold weather if you care to send it my way; it's EXTREMELY hot here right now.
My Dad used to say, you can always put on more clothes when it's cold, but when it's hot, there's only so many you can take off! HeeHee Safe to say, I think, you won't be stripping any time soon, LOLOLOL. Seriously, tho, weather extremes suck. You have my sympathies AND jealousy over your cold temps. <3
I could sit and look at your collages all day long. More amazing bits and bobs magic! Stay warm as you need to and don't think about the heating bill! XOX
