Making this name tag  was a challenge for me.   This is definetely what I call my " Salad of Intentions".  I had pieces of this and that incorporated in a scurry.  You know how it is, when you are getting ready to go to a Scrapbooking Crop, so much to do and so little time.

The background chipboard was painted with Ranger Acrylic Sponge Daubers and edged with Tim Holtz Black Soot Distress ink.  I used Ranger Stickles on the flourish  after painting with Ranger Pigment ink.   Hope you can see the stickles also applied to my name. 

 The paper background was supposed to be for a Bandana Technique and I stamped with Stamper’s Anonymous " Tim Holtz" collection  Ornate Collages…I used an applicator to ink the background with Tim Holtz Distress inks before stamping. 

My name was done by using the Bigz Shot dies  " Essentials Alpha"  on a piece of stamped cardstock.   The flowers are from Maya Road…Trinkets Suede and Felt blossom.  Love those flowers.  The flourish and key are from Tim Holtz Ideology - Grunge Board Elements and Keys.  Wow, thats lots of inking and embellishing for me…I hope I can tackle some altered book covers now.

It was fun and challenging.
