Linda has set us this challenge for week #30 from the Tim Holtz Compendium of Curiosities Book on page 48. Now you know by now I can't say how I did it but if you have the book have a go and join in over at Studio L3 hosted by the lovely Linda . Sadly this challenge is drawing to an end and I have managed to join in every week except one, I for one will miss it but Linda hinted last week - well teased - that there may be more to come................. how exciting is that!! I have also combined this project with several other challenges with a Love theme. Sunday Stampers hosted by Hels - Sentiments ; The Artistic Stampers Creative Team Blog - Love is in the Air; Simon Says Stamp and Show - Some Love.
Tag was inked with DI rusty hinge, worn lipstick, metal was altered according to the book technique with ranger dabber paints watermelon Idea-ology heart and terra cotta clip(Stampin Up!.) Stamps used from Tim Holtz. Tag background was stamped and embossed within an inch of its little life as I got a bit carried away in the process, the Sentiment was stamped onto an Idea-ology Journaling Ticket in black versafine, clip and heart were attached and finally I found some red roses in my stash.... amazing what you find when you rummage isn't it...LOL lastly I added velvet ribbon which I found in a bargain bin for 50p for 5meteres - bargain .......I should say!!
Hope you like my creation and please leave me a comment if you drop in as it is always lovely to hear from you, till next time.............
Bye for now
Love your tag Maggie, its fab and so is the altered metal. Annette x

Oh, Maggie, this is wonderful! The design is just perfect-- you really balanced all those lovely elements well, and the paint-altered metal is great! How fun that you found those roses in your stash-- isn't it great when you come across something you didn't even know you had??
