Here is a tag I have completed for this weeks UK Stampers weekly challenge. I wanted to go a little brown and dingy for the theme. The ingredient for this week are:
1. Bunting
2. Stamped image of a child
3. Sepia
I started by cutting the base tag from white card and then applied layers of vintage photo and frayed burlap Distress ink. I then took a text xtamp (PaperArtsy) and stamped twice with Versamark ink and heat embossed with copper embossing powder.
Next I took a frayed hessian stamp and again heat embossed with copper powder in a couple of places on the tag. I had a little printed rent receipt which I edged with more vintage photo ink and stuck this in place on the background and trimmed off at the edge.
I then took a house stamp(Zettiology) and inked the roof with vintage sepia Versafine ink and stamped this several times on white card. The roof triangle bits were trimmed out to represent bunting and coloured with vintage photo before sticking onto the left edge in opposite directions.
The little girl stamp (Crafty Individuals) was inked with vintage sepia and stamped onto white card, coloured with vintage photo, trimmed out and stuck in place over the receipt.
Final touched were to add some gold Bedazzles with Glossy Accents and to add a copper eyelet applied with the crop-a-dile and to tie a piece of trimmed metallic brown ribbon through the hole.

Ooh, nothing dingy about that, Sid - it's a gorgeous tag and you've managed very nicely to get that vintage look - it's great. Love the way you did the bunting - that would have flummoxed me, lol.
