...and a tag for January!

Yes, I know I'm getting this in just under the wire!  But here's my first tag for the 12 Tags of 2013 challenge:


Materials used:
 - Ranger Inkssentials Manila Craft Tags
 - Ranger Distress Inks: Stormy Sky, Peeled Paint, Mowed Lawn, Salty Ocean, Chipped Sapphire
 - Ranger Distress Stains: Pine Needles, Salty Ocean, Chipped Sapphire, Brushed Pewter, Broken China
 - Ranger Archival Inks: Jet Black, Cobalt
 - Ranger Glossy Accents
 - Sizzix Texture Fades Pocket Watches Embossing Folder
 - Sizzix Mini Gears Dies
 - idea-ology Grungepaper
 - idea-ology Film Strip Ribbon
 - idea-ology Vial Labels
 - idea-ology Hinge Clips
 - Foam tape, ribbon, metal gears from my stash
 - Stamps by Tim Holtz for Stampers Anonymous: CSS25900 & CSS30201

A couple of quick notes:
You'll notice the overriding palette of this tag is green and blue.  Those are my fave colours, so you can expect to see a lot of them.  :-)  Also, none of the stamps on my tag this month are ones I carved.  Part of this was about me being pressed for time (after, yes, procrastinating all month!), and part of it was about me becoming more comfortable using stamps that I didn't create, since they've been a part of my art for so long.

Well, that's it for now!  Hope you enjoy!
