Hello & Happy Monday!! It's me Shari (Ain't That Artsy Fartsy), and today, I'm your AVJ Creative Guide greeting you at Terminal 4 of this month's Destination Inspiration. I've got just the barest of creative necessities packed in my overnight bag-- Product: Any "Classics" Stamps Technique: Shabby Chic - CC Vol 1 - Page 49 Color: Antique Linen Substrate: Tag --Let me show you how I used this month's DI 'Tim' essentials to create my tag. I'm using a jumbo manila tag as my substrate which I have spritzed liberally with Antique Linen Distress Spray Stain. I applied WV Textured Crackle Paste onto the tag through the Flourishes Layering Stencil. When the crackle was dry, I spritzed the surface with more Antique Linen DSS. We're using Tim's "Shabby Chic" technique found in his Compendium of Curiosities 1 and I'm using it with Tim's Classics #6 stamp set. I stamped this image onto black card stock with Distress Embossing Ink and covered with clear embossing powder then heat set. I rubbed Antique Linen Distress Paint over the embossed surface and let set, but not dry completely. I then used a damp cloth and light hand to gently rub off the paint from the embossed areas. I cut the scalloped border into petal shapes and curled around a pen barrel to help shape them and I edged each petal with Black Soot DP. I hot glued the Shabby Chic petals together then hot glued a classic accoutrement in the center. I let the hot glue set, then pinched and pushed the petals to give them a bit more shape. I created the leaves for the Shabby Chic flowers out of pieces of cotton twill.  I'm using one of Tim's Found Relatives cards for my focal image on this tag. I lightly sanded the edges of the card then tinted her dress with my Antique Linen DM and her corsage with my Victorian Velvet DM. When dry, I distressed the edges with my paper distresser then inked with Vintage Photo DI and my ink blending tool. I gave this lovely Found Relative a crackly heart to hold. I had colored a piece of manila stock with Barn Door DP and heat set. Then I spread a layer of Antique Linen Distress Stain tinted Textured Crackle Paste over the painted surface and let air dry. When dry, I used a little heart punch to create the heart, edged with Black Soot DI then coated with Diamond Glaze. I added die cut ATC corners to the card then adhered onto the tag with matte Decou-Page. I ran the tag through my sewing machine to add the stitching around the perimeter and along a couple of the edges of the Found Relative card. I cut apart a Small Talk sticker and attached to the Found Relative card. I outlined with the fine tip of my Black Soot DM and my white gel pen. I distressed the edges of the tag with my paper distresser and inked with Black Soot DI and my ink blending tool. I attached a Word Band to the tag with brads, hot glued the Shabby Chic flowers and leaves into place, then flicked Antique Linen over the surface with a paint brush. It needed a little something more, so I spritzed Black Soot DM through my air art tool here and there and heat set. I hope you've enjoyed this leg of the creative journey we here at A Vintage Journey call, "Destination Inspiration". I'm having the best time sharing this month's travel with Chris, Julie and Jenny. We are now off to meet up with one more of our Creative Guides at Terminal 5--You'll have to meet us here next Monday to see who our 5th companion will be and what she's 'packed' using all of our Tim travel essentials! XOXO-Shari

Hi all! I'm so excited to share my first post for the Frilly and Funkie Design Team! Last week the Frilly crew shared their creations for the 'Something to Say' theme - this week it's the Funkie's turn. I decided to make a burlap-covered panel using a few of my old favorite products, along with some new things that I'd been dying to try. I took a few pics along the way to share how I made it. I started by covering a piece of medium-weight chipboard with burlap paper. Next, I used Tim Holtz's Traveler Layering Stencil and Ranger's Texture Paste to add some dimension. (This is the first time I've used this texture paste and I am so in love with it!) After the texture paste was dry, I spritzed on various colors of Distress Stain. I love the look of the stain on burlap! When that was dry, I lightly sanded the paste to remove the stain and give it some contrast. After that, it was time to decorate! I added strips of Tim's new Passport Design Tape, plus a ticket and Photobooth photo and a Remnant Rub. To add a little more texture, I spritzed it very lightly with Picket Fence Distress Stain. I had a feeling the Mixed Media dies from Sizzix were going to work really well with my faux tarnished silver technique and I wasn't disappointed. How cool is that design?! I love the metallic element it adds. To finish the panel, I added a strip of the new Big Chat stickers, finishing the quote with a word from one of Tim's older Alpha Parts collections. I hope you enjoyed my grungy, vintage panel. I love using the burlap paper since it lets you make your art any size you want!
