Tim Times Ten Challenge - Day 9

Just 2 more challenges and this fun is over.  The tags that everyone has created have been so unique.  I hate to see this fun come to an end.... but you know the saying.  LOL!

For day 9's challenge.... How high can you go? Today's challenge is to create a dimensional tag. At least two elements must lift up off the page. The edges of the tag should be inked. At least one dimensional flower and 3 buttons should be incorporated in the design.

So for my tag, I decided on a distress technique using the distress powders. (Take a look at http://www.timholtz.com/vid_distresspowders.htm for the technique)  I used the embossing ink with Black Soot Distress powder on the tag.  I wanted a worn and aged look of the images.  I think inked the entire tag with the Aged Mahogany and Scattered Straw distress inks.
I used a combination of Tim Holtz Visual Artistry stamps - Life's Possibilites and Flights of Fancy.  I inked the umbrella man with Frayed Burlap and then used clear embossing powder to make it stand out, then pop-dotted the cut out image off the tag along with the layered flower. 

To show the Umbrella man lifted offf the page in detail.
