Drippage Tag

Hi everybody! I had a little time to play with my new Seth Apter dies over the weekend and this is the first one, of two tags I've been working on. I love making tags as they're  ideal for sampling new products and techniques and there's not too much space to cover when time is limited. I fished this particular tag out of one of my unfinished / leftover, project wallets. I'd already sprayed it with Distress Sprays in various shades of blue, so it was just the job for what I needed. The Drippage die cut by Seth Apter and the splat, die cut by Tim Holtz, have been heat embossed with a couple of layers of ultra thick, silver, embossing powder.
The centre die cut is also by Seth Apter. I used gold transfer foil on the surface and then distressed it with sand paper, I then gave it a coat of Andy Skinner's magic  distress wash, which is basically a mixture of  Deco Art Paynes Grey and Quinacridone Gold.
 A bit of stamping and a Chit Chat phrase provided the finishing touches. So, that was a lovely afternoon, spent with three of my favourite men, Tim, Seth and Andy. What an awesome trio heh heh! I'm going to hop this tag over to Sandee and Amelie's Steampunk  blog, where they have an Anything Goes, Steampunk/Industrial Challenge. They also have some lovely prizes, for 2 entrants, chosen at random, from their sponsors, Deco Art and Boozy Bear, as well as fantastic inspiration from their very talented design team. What's not to love !  you can see some of Seth  Apter's work over on his blog The Altered Page, and Andy Skinner's, over at  his blog with this link
