Kraftyhands October 2014 Challenge

Today is the start of the October challenge at Kraftyhands. Thank you to those of you who joined in with the September challenge, the winners have been announced on the blog. This challenge is just for fun. 

The theme this month is "Tagtastic"

and I have made a double tag to inspire you.

The base tags are hand cut from Kraft card. I scruffed and inked the edges. All the elements are from the Steampunk Emporium CD from Kraftyhands. I layered one of the many backing papers on both tags and then glued them together. I picked some of my favourite elements from the CD and printed and cut them out then played around with the layout until I was happy.

I decoupaged some of the images and to add a shabby chic feel I scruffed edges, used inks and overlayered parts of the artwork.

I die-cut cogs and dotted them around the tags then sprinkled on some Frantage. To finish off I punched two holes in the tops and added ribbon, string and beads.
