Do you have a difficult time deciding on a post title? I know at times I sure do and it can take up some valuable time! My little studious young man from
Rogue Redhead Designs, was asking to come out and get all inky, so how could I refuse this little darling?
The arched frame of Tim's was cut using layers of chipboard and corrugated cardboard and then glued together. This was covered with some paints, crackle and stain. The back panel is card stock layered on chipboard and I did first splatter some leftover coffee on this! The young man was stamped in Coffee Archival and then colored with markers and applicators. He was then masked off and the Almanac background stamped in Brushed Corduroy, inked and splattered with water.
The tag background was inked over a Dylusions letter stencil with a Versamark pad and then clear embossed. Once colored with distress inks, the embossing was removed via an iron! Again we had to splatter with water! I just love that effect!
The sentiment was stamped using Coffee Archival and clear embossed, inked and mounted on corrugated cardboard and I used a Stampin Up paper punch, so neglected! The key and metal corners were inked and embossed, even though it does not show up very well in the photos!

Sadly most of my post titles are really rather pedestrian! Unlike yours this evening - fab project too - loving the corrugated cardboard arch ... and who doesn't love a good book

Fantastic dimension in this absolute gem of a tag... The neutrals, the corrugated card, the book theme, the little theatre set he's standing on - this ticks every box for me - I absolutely love it, Terry!

Absolute perfection! Bravo, Terry!

Amazing tag! Love the dimension and the arch. Thanks for playing along with the Rogue Redhead Rebel Challenge - Sentimental Focus.
What a brilliant tag, it really set my memory working, thinking back to the books I used to read as a boy. Love it! Thanks for joining us for this week's Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge!
Right up my alley, this tag is Terry! Been in the library field for over 30 years! Love the corrugated cardboard! Fabulous quote!

Love your tag and that quote is just awesome! And to answer your question about blog post titles..YES! That's why I do a word of the day on mine, lol waving hi from the hills of North Carolina ♥
Goodness- what an amazing tag- love the arch- and the corrugated cardboard arch....I grew up loving to read- I used to hide a flashlight in my room, and would read under the covers at night......till all hours of the night......
This is awesome, Terry! Love the frame and the treatment of the corrugated cardboard plus so many other awesome deets!
Wow this tag is stunning! Love the quote too!
It was the muted colours that caught my attention first Terry and then drawn into the fabulous textures and design. This is a gorgeous creation, I adore it.

Ein tolles Werk

This is a gorgeous tag! Books are better than gardens in the pocket, they don't cause allergies! Valerie
Such a gem of a tag Terry. Love the dimension of the arch and the faux batik background. Hugs, Jenny x
Love how you created your amazing background with the help of an iron! It looks wonderful. Love the frame you created for the boy, the corrugated card gives an impression of age which is perfect for your tag. Love the way you did the sentiment too. Yes, I too have difficulty in thinking of titles...... Hugs, Anne x

The neutral colour palette is perfect.

I love your tag!!! I am planning on using that layering technique this month for a swap I'm in. I just love how yours turned out, especially with the corrugated portions showing through. Very artistic grunge for this tag. Good luck on your entries...
Terry I gave up on trying to be creative with my titles. I just don't have the knack for it. LOL
What a wonderful tag. Your rocking the stamps for AO. I just knew you were a perfect fit.
Have a great weekend GF>
