After....

the disaster that was yesterday's Tag......which my bin ate.. the only redeeming feature was that I found out tracing paper loves Alcohol Inks and when scrunched makes great leaves....didn't have any Glassine or anything else that Tim used yesterday....
I LOVE today's ♥♥♥

Again a lot of improvisation, but I so enjoyed making this tag....I had the Gear die, but not the clock...I had the clock mask so I just used that instead. I don't think my paint must have dried properly after I stamped the background as it seems to have taken some of the Distress Ink colours, but I still like the effect...I didn't have the stamps Tim used, so I used some by the very talented Andy Skinner for my background :-)  I feel sure I have some sprockets somewhere in my stash, but I couldn't find them, so just added the spinner instead. The Gentlemen are by Crafty Individuals and the letters and numbers are  American Crafts Thickers unfortunately this particular pack has lost all it's stickiness, but I just used Glossy Accents to stick them on! The  Hand stamp is also by American Crafts.

All was well and I was so pleased with the way it has turned out, so I did as I always do after making something and showed Bry...he reckoned the 'Joy' said 'by' and couldn't figure out what 'by 25' meant....MEN!!!!

Thanks for looking and I'll catch up with you again soon.

Oh and a couple of people have asked me about the charm I used in the last tag....it is a small metal charm by Crafty Bits that was in a TSV off QVC years ago...I just knew it would come in handy for something :-) Nothing gets thrown away in this house!!!!
