Time Travel


It's too hot for any more ironing so thought I'd make a quick tag for Hels Sunday Stamper challenge week 215 where the theme is to use WORDS ie. a phrase or quote involving more than one word.



I've used stamps from Paperartsy Hot Pick 1208 - the bus in Vermillion Archival, the taxi in Jet Black and the street names in Coffee.  The tag is just edged with Vintage Photo Distress Ink as are the vehicles.  The quote is part of a stamp from Tim Holtz and is fastened with some distress inked seam binding.  

It's a colour scheme Hels and others have used (red, brown and fawn) that I always think looks good so this time I thought I'd give it a try.  It looks a bit like chaos on London's roads so maybe I should have used that title but  hope you like!!

  2. It is very much like the hustle and bustle of London, so it is perfectly crowded together. The colours work so well together and love the little sentiment too. A brilliant tag. A x

  3. Given up on my ironing - iron has started to leak and I think the thermostat has gone :( or should that be :) coz it means I can't do any but then again might have to fork out for a new iron (although this one isn't that old)
    Enough of that, your tag is brilliant, as Redanne has said it captures the hustle and bustle of the London streets.
