A Simple Tag

Hi Bloggers.

Today I've been forced into the new Blogger and I don't like it! I'm one of those people who struggle a bit when software and layouts change and it's taken me a while to find where everything is - must be something to do with age I think.

Anyway, today I'm sharing a very simple tag.

I inked up one side of the Steampunk Mask (will be getting some in my Amazon Store soon) with Perfect Medium. I popped my tag face down on to the inked area and ran it through my Grand Calibur. The ink transferred to the debossed pattern. I then added some Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder and heat set it. Next, (as per Ali Reeve) I added a generous dusting of Dark Bronze Mica Powder (from the Cosmic Shimmer Metallics Mica Spray Set) and heated it again. The Mica sinks in to the melted embossing powder - cool, eh?

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Mechanical Handbags Stamp Set using Sepia Archival and embossed with clear powder. I distressed the edges of the tag and my sentiment with my scissors and then added Tea Dye Distress Ink using Cut & Dry Foam.

I dyed some Cotton Hemp Ribbon using Tea Dye Distress Stain and then stamped some cogs onto it using Sepia Archival. I added some Creative Expressions Faux Screw Brads in Antique Copper to couple of the mask cogs and the tag was complete.

Hope you like it.

Thanks for stopping by.
