"A Vintage Journey" is celebrating their birthday and have a recipe provided for their March challenge which encompasses Purple, Chipboard, and Rust. A very strong influence for my tag. :)
I used the gold distress stain with the dusty concord ink over the surface to create my backgrounds. I tried a variety of stamps in the background.
You might recognize the butterflies as they were the leftovers from my tag made for Tim's March tag. They already had a beautiful mix of white, black and gold on the surface. I just added the Stampendous Aged Metallic to the edges of the tag and the butterflies.
The stencil is one of the new Tim Holtz Idea-ology Layering Stencils. I added gold embossing powder to the metallic numbers and added them to the butterflies. The sentiment is from Verses Rubber Stamps.
Thanks for stopping by!
