I was delighted to be lucky enough to win a set of Tag Die Cuts from Brenda at Tag Along new challenge so I just had to put them to good use this week. The theme over at their challenge is Travel.
My tag uses just one of the 11 dies in this set and I used an old Stampin Up embossing folder for the background. It seems ages since I've used embossing folders. This whole tag became a case of using up long forgotten items. I inked the folder first with some Distress Oxide in Bundled Sage and Peeled Paint to create the mottled background. As it's quite a detailed emboss I didn't think stamping direct on to it would work so I used some tissue paper to stamp on.
The stamp is from a set by Bipasha BK for Aallandcreate called Phonebooth Elements - another hardly used stamp. I loved the idea of the world on it which I thought really fitted with the Travel element. I then added some very very old Tim Holtz stamps. I think I've had them over 20 years and the polymer is starting to give up a little but hopefully it will last a big longer. I used the city scape stamp at the bottom and the Postcard and Discoveries word.
I'm adding this into the following:
Tag Along - Travel
Neglected Stuff Challenge - lots here - embossing folder - lots of stamps

Lovely to see you put your new dies to work so quickly Fiona and what a super tag it is, very effective using the deeper colour for the phone hand piece, draws the eye. Many thanks for joining in again at Tag-Along (and ATC's) challenge.
