Finally I've used one of the giant tags that I bought ages ago, but just didn't seem to know what to do with! As the challenge over at Simon Says Stamp and Show this week is Show Some Metal, here's my entry.
The tag is coloured with distress inks, stamped with some of Tims fab new stamps, and sprayed with some white Crafty Notions spray to create a soft look, and then some more stamping on top. The Sewing Room die has been cut once in grunge paper and then just the body from Ten Seconds Studio metal (the plain aluminium roll). I've embossed the metal using a damask effect folder. The metal has then been aged with black acrylic paint and lightly coloured with denim and caramel alcohol inks.
To finish off the tag I've just used some ric-rac, old buttons, and a fabric flower. If you look closely you can see the fundamental error I made in not moving my metal far enough away from the white spray, but I'm telling myself it adds to the aged look!

Loving the metal dress form, colours are fab, as is the rest of the tag :oD
I see we both could not wait to use the sewing room die goodies! Love your dressform! I did not get the stamps until two days after and wish I had waited, but had an idea and had to run with it. You know how it goes! Love your fabulous tag!
the dress form looks great, and I love the subtle stamping in the backgroun of your tag
hugs
Great make. Love all the elements you have added!
Beautiful tag. Have been trying to resist these stamps, but can now feel my resolve is weakening. Love the effect of the CN spray - one of my favourite sprays. The colours are great.
