Hi everyone, I have just bought a new book - A compendium of Curiosities by Tim Holtz. It has so many good ideas and has inspired me to make this tag.I made the keyhole and key from cereal box card and inked and embossed it to look a bit like metal and enamel. The heart is embossed with dark red embossing powder and outline in gold gel pen. The stamps I used are by Tim Holtz. Oh, and also the brads were gold so I just embossed them with copper powder, I think it looks quite effective. the images are free ones from the Internet.
I am entering this into several challenges:
The Stampman - Distress
SirStampalot challenge blog
lots to do challenges - distressed tags
Our vintage affair - vintage tags
Bye for now x
great tag!!! I really like it. I found it over at Lots to Do Challenge....I have a question for you...how on earth did you get your link to take ...as the button after you type in your name, etc. does not work. And you posted AFTER I tried to post. If you would be so kind...as no one from the challenge has answered any of my emails or post.....thanks for your time:)
