12 tags of 2014 - January

 A new year a new beginning... that's what they say isn't it??
I'm here to start my new year off with a little inkiness..

Lets hope that it means I'm a bit better with my blogging..
 

What better way to start off my year of creativeness than with Tim's  12 tags of 2014 -

 
 
I did something a little different with my pocket watch for my tag...
 
I ended up using one of Tim's Idea ology Pocket watch's that I had dropped on the floor and smashed the glass in. . I thought it would be perfect to add to the tag.
 
 this is how I made the pocket watch on my tag.  As i said I had dropped it on the floor and the glass in the front had smashed, so I took it out, so I had the watch with no glass.. I then used Tim's embossing folder. the one with the  pocket  watches all over it  ( pocket watch and steampunk texture fades set).. and embossed a piece of cardstock that I had covered in metal foil sheets..   I cut out one of the clock faces.. I just held the front of the pocket watch over each clock face on my embossed cardstock till I found one that fit. Added in a bit of idea ology foliage , gears, and washer. then stuck in to the inside of the top piece of the pocket watch..
 


I  also added in few other bits and die cut elements..

 
And this is my finished tag..
 
 

 
Thanks so much for stopping by,
hope to see you again soon xxx.

  9. this tag totally rocks my world - the clock on it's own is incredible but put onto this tag is just genius! I don't know how you get that amazing grunge look but you 'own it' - unique and just gorgeous!
