Emma had this to say:
I just adore Tim’s Vintage Globe die and as soon as I saw this challenge, I just knew that I wanted to incorporate it within my piece, and that’s exactly what I did when I made this card using a Size 12 Manila tag, inked with various colours of Distress Stains. I added plenty of layers to this piece, using stamps and also the Rays and Dot Fade Layering Stencils. Then, when that was done, I added even more layers by using various sized tags which I stamped. To complete the tag card, I added an Idea-Ology Pen Nib and a Corked Vial, crackled and inked with alcohol inks.
Designed by Mona:
Mona had this to say:
I can’t get enough of the gorgeous architecture that can be seen amongst the ancient ruins in Greece. I wanted to capture a vintage vibe when creating my layout so I added beautiful gold detail using Viva Decor’s Gold Beeswax Polish along with Ranger’s Espresso Color Wash. For a little contrast, I applied several Tim Holtz Remnant Rubs Words around the layout.
Designed by Andrea:
Andrea had this to say:
I think one of the reasons I appreciate fabric so much now is because it started out as my enemy. I totally bombed my junior high sewing class and thought that fabric was evil for over a decade. Now I adore fabric, even though I’ve never embraced it “traditionally.” Be that as it may, it’s always been therapeutic for me to look back at how my feelings for fabric have changed for the better. Here I’ve combined my fabric collage with gorgeous patterned paper from Memory Box’s Brioche paper pack and 7 Gypsies’ Maritime paper pack.

These pages are great but the sepia tones and picture from Greece are show stopping. The whole look just goes together beautifully. Who knows, maybe someday I’ll own a passport!
Love the vintage look…awesome…Emma’s is the bomb!!!!!
These projects are fantastic! I love that globe and the vintage feel.
I was just looking into purchasing some Tim Holtz products the other day so it’s quite fabulous to see a few examples on how to use them!
Great theme and wonderful interpretations of that theme.
Love that globe on the first tag/card.

So many elements in the tag – the pen and ink, the globe. Love it.
The layout is beautiful. The collage is wonderful. Andrea used a lot of elements in it also. Love the scraps of fabric incorporated in it. Great job ladies.
