Vintage butterflies in monochrome with a sprinkle of Tim magic!! second post today!

Hey there,
Well here I am again with, yes you have guessed it, another tag!!! This time back to the vintage monochrome feel but with a sprinkle or too of Tim magic!! So here she is:
I started with a piece of card, applied crackle paint which I left to dry, then inked over to create the large background piece, I love that despite the monochrome colours used the texture is fab and I love, love, love distress browns for that vintage feel.this piece was glued to a tag inked in vintage photo distress ink.
I wanted to enter the fab new challenge over at frilly and funky, as well as the artistic stamper monthly challenge of ribbon and lace.
The floral ribbon trim was coloured using distress inks , smooshed onto a craft mat, spritzed and then the trim dunked in!!!hope that makes sense!!! I added ribbon, a little bottle full of seed beads and some ideology to the top of the tag.
The middle panel was made using Tim butterflies stamp from the new warehouse set, perfect pearls in heirloom old, water and some distress inks.
hope this shows up some of the magic shimmer!
Let me know what you think?!
