I recently renewed my passport and decided that it was time to make a new passport holder and I also made a coordinating luggage tag.
I used Grungepaper which I think is a perfect weight and is hardwearing to use for something that I hope will last a few years.
I started by inking the paper with Broken China and Faded Jeans Distress oxide inks, I then spritzed and splattered with water, Tumbled Glass Distress and Black Marble Inks
I added more texture using a Gridlock Embossing Folder and then die cut a world a plane and letters to finish the holder.
I used distress inks for the world and didn't like how I had coloured them so I painted over with gesso, a little bit of colour came through the paint and I then used a brown pencil to shade in the coastlines.
the shading shows up more on this pic
I am now all ready for my next vacation!
Edited to add: My daughter has claimed this set so I will have to met me another, the joys of motherhood! ;-)
Thanks for looking! It's now time to get out your vacation supplies and join in the fun!
Due to the recent 300% price hike to transfer from Inlinkz to Link Deli I have stopped using that service. It is such a shame that a service we have used for years can suddenly increase their prices so dramatically and if you don't pay all of your links for years disappear. Grossly unfair in my opinion. But hey ho' time to bite the bullet and leave.
Here is a link list of the products I used. I do receive a commission on these affiliate links but rather than give the proceeds to inlinkz I will be donating the full amount to the Gozo SPCA. Every little helps ;-)

I am not one bit surprised that your daughter has commandeered these, not only are they beautiful but so useful too! I love how the grungepaper took the inks and stains and the embossing just brings the colours out more! The shading on the world is beautifully subtle and I love how the bold Passport word stands out. A brilliant set! Hugs, Anne xx
It's such a pretty set! I love the shades of blue and embossed background. The globe turned out fantastic. Hugs, Marzena

A lovely set and a brilliant idea to use the grungepaper. Now you've had a 'test run' you can make another set for yourself. Thanks for joining us at MAWTT. Hazel x
great passport cover and tag set Lols, and I can see why your daughter had to have them for herself:)
How did you manage to use the globe dies this way!?!?! tell me your secrets!!! I love it!!!
Every time I loose all the teeny bits of paper and I go crazy trying to put them back together!!!
I also love the blue tone, definitely a color that makes me dream!
Smart daughter to claim this set, Lols! What a great idea! I really like it and may have to make myself a set. Thanks for the idea! hugs, Maura
This is such an absolutely clever idea! I love it when style and utility combine into one fabulous project and you've certainly done that here. The only problem I can see is that the airport staff will probably steal your luggage tag because it's so flippin' adorable!
very nice work!! Thank you!!!
Heike
These are so fun, Lols! Love the texture and the colors! You're gonna steal the show with these at the airport for sure! Hugs, Sandra
What a fabulous project and I'm not surprised that your daughter loved it...it's amazing Lols and I love how you've used the globe, it looks fantastic! xx
