Life is a one time offer...

Hello fellow Crafters,

Today I made a tag for the 19th challenge over at Tag Along. The theme is tickets and this is what I made:


I started with a #8 Manilla tag which I painted with Distress paint. I did some background stamping with a PaperArtsy swirl and a ledger like stamp. I used blue and coffee coloured Archival inks for this. I then aged the edges with the same brown Archival ink and put on the rub-ons. The little girl came from a collage sheet which is called Sibling Rivalry from Hidden Vintage @ DeviantScrap.com.  I used a stamp for the tickets, I stamped two on kraft paper, crumpled them up and coloured them with Vintage Photo Distress ink. They were stapled onto the tag over the photo. I made the sentiment with the computer, distressed it with the same Vintage Photo ink and glued it on. A bit of cream ribbon and a turquoise mat finished it off. 
As the light was very bad today I had to use the flash for taking the photo. I got a lot of glare from the picture of the girl so I had to take it at an angle. That's why it looks a bit funny. 

Thanks for stopping by !

Hope you like it….

    I really like and appreciate this tag, Corrie! My 70th birthday is looming, so I am painfully away of your sentiment! The tags is beautiful in your browns and blues! You are my kind of artist!
