Finishing at Terminal 5

Hello to all of you and welcome to Terminal 5 as I finish with this month's final destination. I also would like to say that this will be my final posting for AVJ and I will truly miss travelling with such a great group of vintage beauties, so talented and full of inspiration. You could not ask for a better group and it has been an absolute pleasure to be a part of this wonderful Tim inspired challenge blog!

Now onto my tag and what I pulled out of my travel bag!

1. Product - Any 'Classics' Stamp Set (Classics 18 and 7)

2. Technique - Shabby Chic - CC Vol 1, Page 49

3. Colour - Antique Linen

4. Substrate - Tag

As directed, I painted the tag in Black Soot and then randomly stamped the Artsy text and clear embossed. I wanted the opposite effect, so cut an arch and painted this with Antique Linen, and stamped the chess piece.

After the next step of painting and removing it, I also added a little extra background stamping around the arch and sanded some of the black paint off the arches. Next was to add a couple of metal embellishments and add a bit of Black Soot as well.

The sentiments were computer generated and all the elements in my travel bag were all used up!

So here is the round up of all the Creative Guides contributions for July.

Terminal 1 - Chris

Terminal 2 - Julie

Terminal 3 -  Jenny

Destination Inspiration - Route #5 - Remnants

Hello and welcome to the 5th and final instalment of our Destination Inspiration for May. Terry here today and this is what I cooked up, following the May concoction of:

Product: Any of Tim's Dies with the word "Vintage" in the Title

Colour: Stormy Sky

Technique: Tissue Wrap Collage from Compendium of Curiosities II, Page 38

Substrate: Card

I stamped an image from Tim's Classic #3 in Black Archival and then heat set to dry. Next I applied some Stormy Sky Distress Ink directly to the Craft Mat and using a wet paint brush coloured in the design areas and inked over the edges. I looked through my stash of Grungy shapes and went with Butterflies and Hearts also coloured with Stormy Sky.

 Following the instructions on page 38 of Compendium of Curiosities II, I glued down my grungy pieces and applied the Tissue Wrap and used a stylus to press down the TW around the images.

Final steps were to apply the paints of Stormy Sky and Vintage Photo as directed. I also rubbed a little Vintage Photo Distress Inky over the grungy objects and gave a spray of sealer to keep the inks in place. Added the Remnants Word Band and Finished off with Tim's Vintage Lace Die for trim, which was shaded.
