Sunday Stampers Challenge 201. "Men"

Finally I managed some me time in my craft room. I usually try and do Hels Sunday Stampers Challenge on a Sunday, but this week it just flew past and I never got any crafting done at all. However, this week's challenge is "Men " and I have masked a tag with TH stamps and distress inks to give it a rusty look. I then took the look a bit further and Rusted up some chipboard alphabets using Acrylic Wax and Rusting powder. I dusted it off with cosmic shimmer mica powder in bronze & gold to give it some shine. I dyed some string in rusty colours to give it a more authentic look.  Note to self, I need some male stamps.  Hope you enjoy your day ,whether or not your crafting.  Hugs Rita xxx

This is a great tag and would be wonderful for a male card - Tim's techniques are wonderful for getting inky.
