Big Bird Tag

Here is my take on the 12 Tags 2014 March  I had none of the stamps Tim used so using a selection I thought would work I "improvised" to make my Tag.  I love learning the new (to me) techniques Tim shares during the 12 tags Journey and I really enjoyed this one. 
I have used the same colour distress inks, distress markers.

I stamped the bird in walnut stain and tried the smudge technique which did work ish....then following instructions I coloured in the rest with distress markers wild honey and tumbled glass blended out with water.  I inked up a flourish stamp instead of the feather Tim used and used 3 colours of distress ink, tumbled glass wild honey and rusty hinge which did look lovely at the top of tag ...I say did because you can hardly see it now as it has disappeared under the mask area....
I followed the same technique again as Tim using my distress marker spritzer for the first time.....It has been in the packet since Christmas..........have to say it is easy to use and I am now addicted and have sprayed everything that was on my desk at the time, not because I got it everywhere oh no.....just because I could........I had great fun lol.......anyway back to tag, I moved the mask slightly and spritzed another colour.  Tissue tape was burnished as instructed with my nail I like how it has become more transparent and the birds wing shows through.......must remember to do this each time I use the tape! Lastly I added bakers twine and a piece of Idea-ology which I applied ranger dabber to first .  Ribbon was dyed with the same inks as above.

I shall link this tag to Tim's blog and also to A Vintage Journey Challenge #1 a new challenge blog where I am sure I am going to enjoy playing.
