Another Tim Holtz Tag

There's a challenge up at L3 that I thought I'd try.  I actually made the "real" tag at one of the classes I took so I thought I'd try the challenge from a whole different angle.

I used Now and Always AGAIN.  Yeah.  Third time in a week.  What can I say- I like the set and it's kinda fun to see how many different ways I can use it in.  ... oh wait!  You won't see one use of it until Friday!  And it's a good one if I do say so myself- stay tuned! 

In short, I stamped the large flower in white and embossed it.  I then took the distress inks, tapped them on a craft mat, spritzed them with water and then rubbed the tag in it.  I repeated this get the look I wanted.  I stamped the 2nd flower on top of that, and the butterfly and vine on DP.  I fussy cut those, glossy glazed the vine, paper pieced the leaves on it with some other DP, and then glued the vine only through the hole so it's almost like a ribbon, and the butterflies on top/around the vine.

I really like the way the shadows from the white riboon and the vine play on the tag.  I included photos so that was a bit more visible- the ribbons in the 2nd photo, the vine in the 3rd.
