Grunge Postage Stamp Tag



Today I played with stamps and inks with no agenda while listening to some favourite old tunes.  Some how I ended up with this grunge looking tag.

I started off with a piece of off-white coloured card cut to the shape of a tag.  I used some old Rubbadubbadoo magnetic stamps for the main image, stamped in Versafine "Vintage Sepia".  

I used a Distress Ink through aTim Holtz Stamper's Anonymous stencil "THMM101" for the background dots.  I then inked the edges and dragged an old black ink pad across the surface of the tag to give it a more aged/grunge look.

    1. That's a great idea. I'm sure we are not the only ones that would find that handy. Sam x
