Tag Friday

It's the fifth Friday in May and we have a Tag Friday post over at A Vintage Journey today showcasing lots of wonderful inspiration tags, so worth taking a look.


Process steps

Layer of gesso using a palette knife.
Dips and drips of sap green and cerulean blue drying between each layer.
Blend over hickory smoke and gathered twigs and splatter with water - dry off water with a piece of kitchen towel.
Spritz lightly with water and heat dry.
Stencil with coffee archival ink.


Stamp the Imperial Rover bicycle with hydrangea, coffee and black archival inks and leave to dry. (I used a stamp platform).


Mask the words and bicycle and stamp over some gears and text from the Tech Trauma set using watering can archival ink.
Add the vintage photo and mini collage with Secret Journey stamped and cut from the Word Up set.


There we have a stamped and stencilled collage of images on a painty/inky distressed background.
I wonder who the cyclist is and where he has been journeying to?


Thanks for stopping by, I hope you get a minute to go walkthrough the amazing line up of fabulous tags over at AVJ, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Enjoy your weekend.
