Butterflies & Tags

Hi everyone! A big thank you for dropping by to read

my blog. As always with my work this piece has 

the odd clock face I think its an obsession 

now. I started with a black tag to which

 I glue some craft paper.

I then applied grunge paste with a metal spreader or

scraper down the centre of the tag.

 I allowed this to dry.

I think there may be many!! photo's of this one. 

I put grunge paste through the Tim Holtz cargo stencil 

down the left hand side.

To the top right I put grunge paste through the ledger 

stencil from CW

Out of thick black card I used the Tim Holtz pediments 

dies to cut out the topping on the tag.

I used old brass square and round sequins to embellish

 the top centre next to the clock.

The butterflies were stamped onto craft card they are

Tim Holtz stamps from the field notes plate.

They were clear embossed, then coloured

 with blue gelleto's and covered in rock

candy distress stickles.

The cargo numbers and ledger were coloured with geleto's 

and brushed gentle with treasure gold. 

The base of the tag I used the stamps from Tim Holtz 

Apothecary and steam punk plates.

The clock faces are from the artistic stamper 

time and keys plate.

The top was rubbed with treasure gold and a small clock 

was stamped on magnolia card and then a brass ring

used and filled with glossy accents. The ruler 

was stamped onto white card and is an

 indigo blue stamp.

Everything was backed onto craft card and holes were punched 

brads and eyelets used to fix the brass chain. the sides were

distressed with Vintage photo and black soot.

I hope you all enjoyed this post & don't feel

 shy let me know what you think.

Cheers Dee x
