Tim Times Ten Challenge - Day 8

Its day 8 and our journey is almost over.  This has been quite fun seeing that I'm having to rush home, think of something that is acceptable to post and get it all done in @1.5 hrs.

So here goes......
The challenge for today is to create a distressed tag. You must use a minimum of 3 colors of ink. You must use at least 1 image stamp and 1 sentiment stamp. You must color your sentiment stamp using two different ink colors and stamp -- this should be one press on the tag and not "stamp one color, clean stamp, stamp second color." A unique piece of ribbon or other embellishment should be used for the hole in the tag.

For my tag, I used a combination of Spiced Marmalade and Shabby Shutters.  I didn't want a dark background so that my image and sentiment stamps would show up nicely.  I went with one of the Tim man's stamp sets - FairyTale Frenzy.  I inked the flora with Bamboo Leaves Memento Ink and the sentiment with Aged Mahogany and Forest Moss.  I used some embossing powder on the sentiment to give it some depth.  I inked the edges of the tag in the Aged Mahogany, which gave this just the right touch that I was after.  I added a layered Prima flower and a rhinestone to finish it and some coordinating ribbon from my stash.
