For my contribution I decided to create a tag using one of the fabulous new steampunk Grumpies and what a distinguished little Grumpie he is. I started by created my tag base by running through a Tim Holtz metalwork embossing folder. I then inked with vintage photo and walnut stain distress inks and attached to a tag base cut from mountboard to give stability. I then coloured up the Li'l Grumpie with copics, fussy cut and then mounted onto black cardstock to make him pop and attached to the tag base. I added some DecoArt Liquid Glass to the pocket watch covering his eye. I die cut two gears from chipboard and applied a rusty technique. Added brass findings and Ideology spinners and glued to the tag base. A sentiment was stamped onto cardstock, ripped and inked with distress ink then attached with staples. Paper ribbon and curled rusty wire were then added to finish. Love this li'l fella I need them all.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and read. Your next stop is Elenor.

 

Hugs Fiona.
