Sizzix and Tim Holtz

Hi there,

Today finally my prize from Sizzix arrived.

It is a wonderful die with numbers

that I think goes great with my word play die.

Now to come up with some fun designs.

Thank you so much Sizzix

for picking me!

Of course I had to look on the Sizzix Blog

and I noticed the wonderful Bon Voyage tag

by Tammy Tutterow and this

inspired me to make the following

tag with my new Tim Holtz stamps.

As I am of to the US end of this year

I thought it would be fun to have the

airplaine stamps to use for my scrapbook.

But of course I had to play with it now.

Starting with the background I show

you how I build this tag.

 As the airplain is up in the clouds,

I cut out a cloud from a piece of paper and

used this as a mask to make this background

with broken china and a blender tool.

 When done I took my swirls embossing folder 

and run tag and folder through the Vagabond.

 This is how it looks when finsished.

Of course I distressed the outside and added

'some more broken chine with my blender tool.

 Then I used my stamps and

cut them out with scissors and used some vintage photo

distress ink around it. The airplain I colored with 

a silver gelpen. Also I found some of my US boarding

passes from one of my previous trips and used it  for this tag.

As I have some boarding passes left, 

I sure going to use them for some future art.

 This is the top of the tag with a chain instead of

a ribbon to give it more of a luggage tag look

and a token hanging from this. I choose the one with wander

written on it. No explanation needed I guess.

 Her the bottom part of the tag with everything 

coming together in a collage kind of way. 

The text was printed on kraft paper, cut out and 

distressed. On the compass I added one

of the game spinners from the idea-ology collection.

 Have a creative day!
