PaperArts Tag challenge

So, the lovely people at paperarts are having a challenge this weekend. The only stipulation is that you need to use an embossing folder somewhere on the tag. This is to celebrate the fact they are having a two for one sale on all Tim Holtz Texture fades right now.

I entered this tag:

It is a 8 1/4 by 3 1/2 piece of  200gsm card embossed with the Cuttlebug script folder. I texturized the top using Tim Holtz tissue tape, fusible film and PVA glue. Left it to dry then went over with Alcohol inks. The bottom was drybrushed, as were the cogs, with black and browns. The edging is Distress Crackle paint in antiqued bronze. The whole tag looked like this before I put the adornments on it:

The top set of flowers is an acrylic set which came in clear. I applied Alcohol inks in butterscotch and Raison with a very small paintbrush. I did leave one of the flowers clear to let the fusible film shimmer through. They are sat on a gold mirror card piece punched with a Nellie Snellen die on my cuttlebug.

The cogs were drybrushed the same colours as the bottom of the tag and then I put a small piece of gold mirror card under them.

The Play ticket is from Tim Holtz Adage tickets and distressed with Vintage photo ink.

Hope you enjoy it!
