Gentlemen Time tag

Hi, there! This masculine tag was made for the wonderful Linda Ledbetter's Compendium of Curiosities 3 Challenge #24. Entering to this challenge gives you a chance to win a package of goodies from Tim and Mario (woow) or to win a fabulous $25 shopping spree from the great sponsor of this challenge The Funkie Junkie Boutique :)
This challenge is about the Tim's Remnant rub resist technique (Compendium of Curiosities 3, page 51) so I used this technique on the background. I used several distress stains: Old photo, Frayed burlap and Cracked pistachio. The background image was stamped with Archival ink in Sepia (Tim Holtz gears sketch stamp) and I used two stamps for the focal image: Paper Artsy Dapper men mini stamp and Tim Holtz gentlemen stamp from the steampunk stamp set. I stamped the images with black Archival ink on manila cardstock and cut them out to glue them down on the tag. I cut the pocket watch and attached the Tim's monocle on top. For the watch mechanism I used some clock parts from my stash. The pocket watch is connected to the gear with a game spinner by the swivel clasp. I put the industrial border (Tim Holtz) on the bottom and added the Tim Holtz mustache die to the stamped image.

      Thank you so much, dear Samra! I think that Cracked pistachio is my favorite, especially in combination with the brown tones.

    I thought I left a comment before, but I don't see it, so will leave another. I love this tag - I have used this stamp of the three gents before, but I wouldn't have thought to use the mustache - great idea!
    Love all the gears and cog too! Well done. Thanks for joining us for this challenge!

    Branka, your tag is fabulous! I love the look of the sepia stamping and the pocket watch is fantastic. The moustache made me smile - a lot, I love that you added it to 'ground' the steampunk men. Thanks so much for joining in our birthday challenge at a Vintage Journey. Anne x

    Amazing tag. This is classic vintage Tim Holtz-inspired art at its finest. Love the masculine imagery, colors, and over all grunginess. Your remnant rubs in the background are the perfect touch. Thanks so much for joining us in the CC3 Challenge.
