Tagged Men!

This week the challenges at Simon Says Stamp and Show http://www.simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.com/ and The Artistic Stamper http://www.theartisticstampercreativeteam.blogspot.com were "Tags" and "Men" respectively. So I created this tag to fit both themes.

I coloured the tag with Distress Inks and then over stamped it with Archival Ink in Black and Coffee using Tim Holtz stamp sets "Steampunk", "Mini Holidays" and "Psychedelic Grunge". Got to say I am just loving his stamps at the moment and using them in almost everything I am making.

I then embellished it with Ideology pieces, a Creative Expressions screw brad and an Alterations die cut ticket stamped with Creative Expression "ticket" stamp set. Gave it a quick rub over with Distress Stickles and then used Ranger Enamel Accents in Black to highlight the Steampunk Gentlemen.
Once it was dry I matted and layered it onto copper glitter card and dark brown cardstock. And voila...........a tag is created!
