Kraft Tag

Simon Says Monday has this week challenged us to use Kraft card - I love this stuff it reacts brilliantly with different mediums
 
 
 
I used glycerine and water to soften the tag and take on the leather look - I alternated between wetting it and scrunching it until I achieved a look I liked.
 
I then inked it with Walnut Stain Distress  Ink and put it through my Vagabond in an embossing folder.
 
I then added some Peacock Feathers Distress Ink
 
I put some Rangers texture paste on to the bottom through sequin waste and set it aside to dry
 
I stamped my images from the Tim Holtz Lost and Found set on to cardstock with Archival ink and then heat set them and inked with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
 
I stamped the birds directly on to the tag with Archival and again Heat set
 
I added the stamped pieces and then some film strip which I attached with my Tiny Attacher
 
I added a strip of lace that I had coloured with Distress Stains to the side and then embellished it with buttons
 
I attached a crinkle ribbon bow and then finished off by adding gilding wax to the texture paste

  5. That pop of yellow green was sure a nice touch and you've used my all time favorite TH stamp (now out in a found relative version). Never tried the glycerin technique--thanks for the tip!
