TAG ALONG CHALLENGE BLOG #93: ROAD TRIP

Anne continues as the June host for the Tag Along Challenge Blog and she is taking a retro road trip!  I had the perfect Stampotique stamp called "A Car Full."  I used a #10 Ranger tag and covered it with a scrap of My Mind's Eye patterned paper called North Pole.  It was a bit of a bear to fussy cut the stamped image, but I got it done! I adhered it with pop dots to add a bit of dimension.  The quote is from a sticker sheet by Reminisce called Travelogue.  I then used a blending tool to apply Gathered Twigs Distress Ink to the edges of the tag to age it a bit.  I used the same ink to color my ribbon and done!


I hope you like the tag!  It was a fun and quick make since I am home for the day and got some play time in my studio.  I hope you can find some time to play this week, too.  Join us at the Tag Along Challenge Blog!

Thanks for your visit and for taking a moment to leave a comment so that I will know you were here!  I love that, you know!

  5. Marvelous Kay!!! Not only did you do some fancy fussy cutting, but your stamped image is so clear. What ink did you use? I can never get this stamp to stamp like you did, whaaaaa

    1. I first tried Memento ink and was not happy, so then tried Ranger Archival, but really, REALLY worked the pad. I paid attention to what areas did not stamp well with the Memento, then paid careful attention to those areas when using the Archival. Glad you like it, Gerrie!
