12 Tags of 2015 {My March Version}

Hello, my blogging friends!  Today I'd like to share my March version of Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of 2015.  This was so much fun and I love the techniques that he went with for this month!  I think you've heard that from me a time or two, what can I say...I'm a technique kinda gal! :)  Tim Holtz has a wonderful tutorial on his blog with step-by-step instructions on how to create this fun technique here.
 I followed Tim's tutorial step-by-step, just using different stamps and colors.  I went with Tattered Elements & Watercolor stamp sets.  For Distress Paint, I chose Spiced Marmalade, Picked Raspberry and Cracked Pistachio.
After everything was dried and embossed, I shaded the outer portion of my tag with Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool.
I used a bone folder to distress the tag edges.
I love, love, love these new Salvaged Dolls!  I grunged her up a bit with a little Pumice Stone Distress Paint.
 I stamped a watercolor butterfly on some leftover manila cardstock that had already been painted.  I cut  the wings out and glued them to her back and placed her amongst the cracked pistachio.  I added one of the Small Talk quotes (love them)!  You can really see how metallic the gold embossing is here!
 For the big bow at the top, I already had some ribbon dyed...I just picked some colors that went with my tag.  I think I need another large half gallon mason jar, cause this one is FULL!
I used Lemonade, Peach Bellini and Mushroom Alcohol Ink to color the Heirloom Rose.  I punch a scrap piece of manila into a circle that fit the Type Charm, then glued the rose onto the charm.
I also used a scrap piece of manila for the Tag Label charm.  I glued a small Spinner and Long Brad to the center then add Glossy Accents to fill in.  I attached both charms to the center of the bow with an O Ring.
Then I attached the bow to the top of my tag.
