My favourite!

When I saw the theme for Tag Tuesday - 'My Favourite Stamp' I knew straightaway what it would be ( I have a favourite set of stamps but that's another story!!!)

Here's my tag...

...and even with Paris and France featured on the Crafty Individuals stamps they are not my favourites...can you guess?
Yes, you have seen it before several times - my favourite background stamp ever (CI430)! I love this stamp so much that instead of taking it each time we go to our caravan I have an identical stamp there too! Here it is stamped onto and ink stained tag.
Mainly because I worried that I might leave it behind and not be able to use it!
Some times I only use a tiny part of it but mostly it's the whole stamp!

I would also like to enter at:-
A Vintage Journey where the theme is 'Celebrate the Journey - Happy Birthday AVJ'
AVJ are celebrating 5 years of the challenge - may the journey continue! 
My tag represents the place I would journey to if I only had one choice...if you a regular reader of my blog you will know how true this is...Oh!.. and watch this space!!!!

Sorry this is a short post - Midsummer Murders starts again tonight!!

Thanks for looking, Chris

Gorgeous tag Chris and I have to agree with you that it’s a stunning background stamp. The first time I saw it was on one of Avril’s cards and I knew then that I’d have to buy it. I really enjoy reading about your travels. The Lake District is one of our favourite places, so it’s lovely being able to visualise lots of the places you talk about. Crafty hugs, Sandra x

I can't imagine you having a favorite stamp, since you are queen of stamping. It's a lovely stamp and a beautiful tag, too!

OMGosh. I hope Netflix brings season 20 of Midsomer Murders to those of us who live outside the regular viewing area.

I love that stamp design too and you’ve used it to perfection on your fabulous tag xxx

Great tag and what a terrific stamp to have in your collection-twice.

Midsomer Murders was good and quite dramatic as well

Have a great day

Love Chrissie xx

I can understand that this is your favourite background stamp as it's so appropriate to all things Paris!!!
Your tag is gorgeous Chris!
Inspector Barnaby is our always to go programme every week and hubby and I have seen some of the series three or more times. Beside of Pater Brown and Lewis we will watch it forever I think even though we often fall asleep ..specially my hubby - he hands me the zapper, turns to the other side and sleeps instantly ... I wished I could drop off as fast as my husband is able to do regardless of blood and thunder!

Happy new week dear Chris!
Big, big hugs, Susi

Chris, your tag is gorgeous! I love the neutral palette and your favorite stamp included on that wonderful background. (By the way, I guessed it, and it would be mine, too!) I'm tickled pink you shared this in our 5th year Celebration at A Vintage Journey. Since I'm commenting there, it's always a two-for when one of my favorites plays along--that way I'm sure to visit and leave a comment. Sorry, but my computer time is so limited these days....Sending BIG hugs!

A lovely Paris tag and that background is one of my favourites too, although mine's had a bit of a rest lately, must get it out again. Avril xx

Joan said...

It's a beautiful stamp, Chris and a fab tag. CI have definitely designed some classics and it's good to see that they're continuing in the same vein. Lovely art :-)

Chris, this is such a stunning tag!! I saw a peep of it already on Instagram a while back (I barely use blogger anymore), I absolutely adore it, the various elements are so cleverly put together, and I felt I just wanted to pop by to say, thanks so much for adding this to our birthday challenge at A Vintage Journey!

Words and Pictures said...

You're right, that is an absolutely lovely stamp - giving the perfect amount of detail and antique style to any background. Love the vintage sepia neutrals of this tag too. Thanks so much for joining us at A Vintage Journey to celebrate our 5th birthday.
