I haven't taken part in the Tag Tuesday challenge in quite a while. The current theme is Anything Industrial which allowed me to try out various techniques.
I started by adding a couple of off cuts of the Tim Holtz Melange Tissue Wrap to a #8 manila tag, sealing, drying and trimming the edges.
I laid the Clarity Clockwork stencil over the top and blended Sepia Archival ink through it. Replacing the stencil, I blended Acorn Archival ink into the centre of three of the cogs. I added colour to the corners too once the stencil had been removed. I stamped all of the cogs from the Clocks and Cogs set by Claritystamp directly onto the tag, heat embossing in both Copper and black embossing powders in turn.
I went round the edges of the copper embossed cogs with a black fineliner to help them stand out against the background. Using one of the chip board arrows from the Leonie's Arty Arrows set, I created a rust effect using the Pentart rust powder and reagents. I added the powder to the chip board using distress collage medium. The arrow pieces were added to the tag using acrylic glue. Next, I added one of the Paper Dolls from the Ancestors set. To finish, I gave the 'Seek' Quote Chip a coat of Antique Linen Distress Oxide and added it at the top. I rather like the build up of layers and textures. I hope it is industrial enough to fit the challenge. What do you think?
