I wanted to go "Quirky" so promptly spent an hour going through various boxes of stamps, gave up as I had way too much choice and went and had a brew!
After said brew, I took the bull by the horns and went for - yes, you guessed it - the first stamp plate I looked at. Clearly clothes shopping rules apply when one selects stamps too.
Stamp chosen - Emily from the Steampunk Sarah and Emily set from Doolally pap (gotta love a firm called that!!). I stamped her in Black Versafine and coloured in with Distress markers, I find these are better for me than alcohol pens, and goodness knows I've tried.
I then used Spellbinders Embossabilities birdies folder directly onto the tag, and then used frayed burlap DI followed by Treasure Gold Renaissance. I then stamped over this in frayed burlap theh script from HP1006 from PaperArtsy.
I then cut some flourishes from my spellbinder dies in a really awful floral paper I got in a job lot, but cut down like this it's bearable (just).
I cut the word from gold(ish) pearlescent paper with a Tattered Lace alphabet die and mounted this onto a scrap of backing paper to make a label.
I then assembled the components and added a distresssed navy flower which I altered the silver glitter centre to Gold using glitter and Cosmic Shimmer Glue (I attempted a dome, but it sank).
