When I was working on this piece for Linda's "Compendium of Curiosities Challenge" I kept thinking of it as "Distressed Enamel." After all, it involved Distress Ink. However, it's "rusted"....and this is the fourth tag I made before I achieved the look I was going for. I combined Barn Door with Rusty Hinge to get this particular color. (The technique is on page 41 of Tim's book.)

Beautiful colour on your tag!

What a superb blending of the distress inks Evelyn, can I ask what paper you used? Did it have a coating or was it a matt finish?
I seem to have a problem sometimes with the inks grabbing the paper and I have a blotchy effect.
I love the colour combo.

Ooh, la la, those colors are spectacular, Evelyn! I love this-- it really does look like rusted enamel, and the stamping is great. What a perfect sentiment!
Love the red!
Great tag. You've really got the enamel look.

Too funny on your color choices! Those are what I used also! Love how your challenge tag turned out and the shape of that sentiment is so unique! Molly is pretty sweet, but not to other dogs!
Interesting color choice and so effective. Love your sentiment too!
