Yesterday I made it into my craft room to actually tidy up a bit and instead this happened! First I thought about an eye looking through the new movers and shapers pocket watch die I own and then I saw a little tag laying around and thought the Steamy Punk Eyes, would look so cool on a tag. Well of course the tag at hand was too small, so out came Tim's mini tag die and it all began! Now that pocket watch was not going to go unused!
All these delicious stamps are from
Artistic Outpost. Eyes were stamped with Archival black, I then used a VersaMark pen around the glasses and gold embossed. Colored the eyes and then masked off before inking, flicking and splattering!
The tag background was inked with various Distress colors, more of the above, dried and then stamped the gears in a random pattern using Black Walnut. I actually added a light sprinkle of gold EP, heat set and then ironed this off in hopes that a little of the gold would remain and it did!
I used the resist piece of newsprint for the sentiment! I thought that made a nice background!
For the pocket watch, I cut black chip board twice and glued together. Made a little frame insert using Spellbinders circles and the clock was stamped in black archival on the same newsprint. This was put together and then clear embossed several times to give a real pocket watch kind of look!
We are popping over to Inspiration Journal as they are wanting us to "

I love how you tidied your craft room lol. You managed to find a home for that fabulous pocket watch and I bet you put that tag die tidily back on the shelf when you finished with it. Of course inbetween time you waved a magic wand and this tag was created and one amazing tag at that. Love what you did.
