Mixed Media Tag

Hi all

Today is new challenge day over at Happy Little Stampers , this months Mixed Media challenge theme is 

I am sure there are many of you who like me struggle when it comes to doing something masculine, but I really did enjoy doing my inspiration piece and I hope it gives you plenty of inspiration too.

I thought I would show you all how my project first starts out as I like to call it planning my layout so here it is 

This stage is where i place my embellishments and other bits on and start to play around with where I want things to be until I am happy, I then take a quick picture so I have a reference to look at for when it comes to sticking everything down. As you have probably noticed the base layers are already done.

Now to show you what it looks like once It is all complete 

Now for some close up's of the tag to show the detail and texture
