Today is another day in the
Stampendous Hop showcasing the new stamps in the October Release.
I was inspired by the Vintage Car and decided to create a travel tag:
The background is a piece of map that I had laying around. I cut the map to fit on my tag and tore a section out in the middle. I added some really cool
Aged Teal Embossing Enamel with a touch of
Aged Gold Embossing Enamel around the edges.
I stamped the Vintage Car using versamark on a piece of the map and heat embossed using
black embossing powder. I stamped again on tan cardstock using brown ink. I cut them both out and slightly overlapped them to give a cool effect.
I embossed an old key added an Idea-ology link and added it to the tag. I stamped the
Time Flies clock twice once I embossed in
Aged Gold Embossing Enamel and the other in black ink. I added a hint of teal blue to the clock face. I punched the clock face out in the embossed version and layered them together.
Just for fun I decided to try to coordinate my seam binding by embossing it with the Aged teal embossing enamel. I sponged the surface of the ribbon using versamark and sprinkled the embossing enamel over the surface and shook off the excess. I heated it up with the heat gun. You need to be careful and hold the heat gun further away so as to not start the ribbon on fire. :)
