So today I was inspired to make a tag after browsing Anna's blog - and it is the perfect timing as I need one for friends that we will be visiting on Saturday. If you have taken a peek at Anna's work, you'll see that she does a ton of layering, inking and uses many of Tim Holtz' products on her wonderful creations.
Here is the finished tag that I made and I'm really happy with how it turned out!
I started by inking the ivory cardstock with distressed ink in Victorian Velvet, Broken China and Peeled Paint colours. Then I placed a cut that I made from the Damask Decor cartridge (it's the green shape that you see peeking out). I then added the victorian style heart (Cricut Everyday Paper Dolls cart), the gear is a chipboard shape that I had and I simply inked with Ranger Sienna ink. 
I then made the ticket using a Tim Holtz stamp and inked the ivory cardstock in Antique Linen, Spiced Marmalade and Vintage Photo distressed inks. The ticket was attached using a Tim Holtz small hanger. On the bottom right, I used the Cuttlebug Clockworks folder and inked the clock shape with Vintage Photo and cut it out by hand.
In the center, I glued a piece of fabric border that had a string of sequins already attached. Next the flowers were made using cuts on the Cricut - Accent Essentials for both flowers.
For the small pinkish flower, I simply curled the petals of three layers in the same size and added a brad for the centre. For the larger flower, I inked four layers (2 large, 1 medium and 1 small) and pinched/crunched the petals following Tim Holtz' grunge flower technique and added a pearl for the centre.
Lastly you'll find a small flourish on the bottom left that I simply added a few brown pearl embellishments.
I'd love to hear your comments on this tag! Enjoy!
