We are having the garden landscaped this week as both of us are no longer fit to maintain it. So a busy week ahead , but I'm sure when finished it will be worth it. Pray that the weather is kind to us. Hugs Rita xxxx

A Vintage Journey Tag.
Hello my friends and lovely followers. Today I am showing the tag I created for the new challenge blog A Vintage Journey. The first challenge is Anything Tim, so what better way to start than to create a tag.. My tag started out as a plain manila type tag and after spritzing with Dylusions paint , I stencilled it using TH Spatters and Shatter with Wendy Vecchi Potting Soil ink. I then added a piece of Faux leather down one side before adding the stamped image from TH. the sentiment is also one from TH. I used tissue tape and chit chat stickers along with some buttons to add some interest. The lace at the bottom was from my stash. and it was put on with the Mini Attacher. I hope that I can inspire you to travel my Vintage Journey with me and the fabulous entries shown by the Design Team. For me this is just the beginning and I hope to learn as I join in with the challenges.

Now that is just gorgeous!!!!
Wow! What a fabulously grungy, totally Tim tag, Rita - it's just brilliant! There's something so atmospheric about those children, and you've given them a wonderful setting - I love the metal additions. Thanks so much for joining us on A Vintage Journey... and I hope all goes well with the landscaping!

This is just wonderful! I love every little speck of it! I must check out the new challenge blog.
Good morning Rita,
I love your stunning "tag" everything is wonderful. Good luck with the challenge
I really wish I could get to grips with this style........BUT!!. When I try to do messy it turns out a "right proper mess"
However tomorrow I am off to a "messy" class in hope to learn. You never know a few weeks of the classes and I might just have grasped it
Enjoy you day
Hugs

I just love your vintage tag Rita and perfectly done in the style of TH, the image and other elements go together so well and the leather adds some great texture. Just wish it would enlarge so I could take a closer look.
Have a great week.

Hello Rita, What a great tag you have created. The elements work so well together. Karen,x
Oh Rita, I love all the bits and layers on this one, including the tied buttons. Far better to spend you time on tags than gardening! :-)
Wow Rita. We can tell you learned a lot from Tim's workshop. This is gorgeous!
Oh my goodness! I bet I can guess some other bloggers who might be on this Journey too! I've seen several of these gorgeous works. Yours is simply stunning. You do vintage, chic and now the grunge too! Love all the bits & pieces you have on this one. So interesting to let the eye just wander across this pretty tag. WELL DONE! I think you're going to enjoy this journey, Rita. You're off to a super start. TFS &Hugs
A fabulous tag mammy in true THStyle. Love all the elements used.

Oh Rita, this is stunning!! Don't know how I managed to miss it until now! This is so totally Tim inspired, really fabulous! Thanks so much for joining us on A Vintage Journey!!
The tag is precious Rita. If your like me you'd rather be making cards and tags than gardening. Yes...I do hope the weather cooperates for you? Have a good week.
Hugs...Leanne
Hi Rita, just doing a bit of catching up at last! Your tag is stunning - I love all the details on it and it wouldn't be me if I didn't say I love the lace trim :) I can relate to the need to make the garden easier to maintain at our age ... we moved house for that reason ... hopefully you will get even more pleasure from your newly landscaped garden this year. Hugs, Elizabeth xx
This tag is stunning Rita. I am sure there isn't much that you need to learn as all your makes are fabulous. Hope we get to see pics of the new garden.
Warm crafty hugs from Shirl x x
A great tag Rita. I'm hoping by the time you read this your garden has really started to take shape. Jenny x
