Mixed Media Tag Vintage Past Times




Hello, my dear blog friends, welcome back! Hope you all had a great weekend and let's play the new challenge! This week at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, our theme is "VINTAGE / PAST TIMES". I was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Tim Holtz Baseboard Frames and Idea-Ology Silverware Adornments for the embellishments. 


I started this project with cutting the patterned paper from the Tim Holtz Lost and Found paper stash to paste on this size 8 tag as the background. The vintage photo was cut out from the same paper stash and framed with two base board frame layered and glued with Tombow Mono Glue. 


The tag and photo frame were distressed with a distress tool, and Distress Ink Pads and the blending tool. The metal embellishments were colored with Distress Paints and pasted on the tag using Glue Dots. 


I added the sentiments using Tim Holtz Quotation Stickers and Tiny Text Rubs. Some Distress Paints were applied on the tag for the vintage and distress effect. I really enjoyed creating this vintage style tag using the old picture and various distress effect. Hope you got inspired and create with us! Happy crafting!

Oh my! This is fabulous! I love all the metal elements and the pieces that look like metal. The way you transformed the frame is amazing, I was sure it was a metal piece from a tin or something! Great colors and a great job! Hugs, Marzena
