Challenge #112 Haberdashery

by the design team.

It's ages since I made a tag. Always handy when you're not needing a card,

but want to try out some colouring or stamps. Of course you

 can always add the tag to a card at a later date.

I started by blending Stormy Sky, Peeled Paint and Mustard Seed.

 Edged around with Iced Spruce, splashed water onto the tag, dried with

paper tissue, then the heat gun.

Stamped the Dress form with Antique Dress Form by Creative Expressions.

Added background details with stamps by  Crafty Inspirations Set  #CI 328.

Finally adding the piece of lace, ribbon and button.
