I am in a tag making mood - beats Christmas cards LOL!! Got a couple of DT projects using tags on the go, but thought I would make one just for the fun of it, and having been quite girly recently, I have gone for masculine and grungy! I coloured the tag using pumice distress ink, and layered it up on the corners. I also coloured some scrap card with the ink, adding a bit of broken china. Having dired the tag (cos I'm impatient!) I places my TH compass mask over the corner and misted with glimmer mists - did both corners. (Note to self, put the mask away before drying the tag with your heat gun, or you might melt the mask that you left abandoned on your craft sheet!!!!) Once the tag was dry I stamped over it using TH stamps and IndigoBlu stamps. I added TH tissue tape, before adding theIndigoBlu train stamp that I had stamped onto that scrap of cardstock. I used the left over bit to make the banner and stamped over it with the IndigoBlu compass stamp.The banner and image were attached using my mini stapler and I stuck some watch parts to the image.Oh and everything is distressed of course using my trusty, but getting blunt!, TH distressing tool. Now I just need to wash my hands!!
