I started with my favourite a manila size 8 tag
and lots of inky yumminess
and spritzing on my craft mat
 
dipping and drying..repeatedly
then added some crackle stamping using metallic distress stain
 
 
the sentiment again stamped in DI
and mounted on some rusty wire
 
I added a flower made from my new poinsettia die.
...this is yummy
