Visible Image Challenge - April 2014 - Tags

Over at the Visible Image Challenge Blog this month the topic is "tags" so I thought I would play along.  I enjoyed making the tag but have had a nightmare trying to photograph with or without a flash.  This is the best I can get with the mirri card and mica powder!!!
I decided to make my own backing paper for the tag.  I coloured areas of a piece of watercolour card with Tim Holtz's Mustard Seed, Old Paper, Dusty Concord and Black Soot distress inks.  I then put some water in a mist bottle and added some silver and purple mica powder, mixed well and then sprayed over the card.  I then used some kitchen roll to add texture and remove the colour in places.  I then finally rubbed some metallic gold Pan Pastel on for some shine.  I'd have used a metallic silver if I had one but I don't.  The card was then cut into a tag shape with a layer or mirri card underneath.

I then used a Visible Image stamp called "Isabella Lost Love" and stamped Isabella onto some white card and coloured in with Graph'it pens, highlighting her cape with a silver Graph'it pen for some sparkle.  Around the edge of the tag and over it I have stamped the splodges and skull stamp from the "Isabella Lost Love" stamp set.  Around the edge of the tag I used the chain effect stamp which comes on the stamp set called "Max Rocks".

I have finished the tag off with a doily inked with a purple chalk ink pad, raffia ribbon, purple raffia, die-cut flower with brad centres, buttons, faux stitching, satin/organza ribbon and a ribbon bow.

I am entering this tag into the following challenges:
