TAG 3 in the 10 TAG COUNTDOWN

I'm a little more organized today .. so I've actually got my tag done earlier ! .. Apologies to Linda whose Link I forgot to add yesterday to my post as I was in a rush .. so here it is now : Linda's Lovely Jubbly Blog (this is showing as not there but click the link on the page that comes up & it will take you straight to Lindas blog ... no idea why ? )
Todays tag has the lost & found papers again as a background, I've Made a microscope slide collage with charms, and a faux solder edge with Platinum Utee. I've glossy accented an image (chocolate cake .. no I've no idea of the relevance of this) which has been adhered to a piece of board. The 3 is from Tim's salvage pad, Gaffer tape from 7 gypsies, and the flowers I can;t remember what make they are but I know I got them from Artist Trading Post Jamie will probably tell me that they've sold out of the flowers but I'm sure there were others ...
I black sooted the edges to finish.
Going to get on with the Fathers day present so that I can leave it ready before I go on Thursday morning.

The big TEN TAG COUNTDOWN begins !

Well unsurprisingly Linda has not only beaten me to it but has also made a far better job of it .. note to self * must try harder ! lol :D
So here is my very sorry for itself offering :D
I colour-washed the background, then I made my own glimmer mist using perfect pearl in blue patina & some Stream colourwash & water and spritzed through a Crafters workshop stencil. Next I Used Walnut stain distress ink over the T.Holtz Swirl Mask , used Artchix numbers for my '10' fronted by idea-ology film strip ribbon and made a metal rose. I added lime green stickles over the mask pattern edges & added a couple of cogs from the idea-ology range to finish.
Please feel free to play along with me & Linda if you feel like it .. the more the merrier ! You can see Linda's Fabby Tag HERE"



Got to get on now, have lot's of backgrounds to prep for the workshop tomorrow, images to print (Ally I have rememebered that you don't like faces & will make sure you have alternatives lol :D x
Might have to get on with my tag no.9 as well seeing as I'm workshopping all day tomorrow ! ... eek I need more hours in the day x (don't we all ?)
