Hello everyone Firstly I want to apologise for not getting round all of your blogs and commenting I will be doing my very best to catch up through the week.
I would also like to say a massive welcome and hello to all my new followers I am so pleased you want to join me in my madness.
Now lets talk about this tag I made I am still unsure about it so I thought I would let you decide.
The stamps I have used were a free set from Debbi Moores new stamping inspirations to you magazine you get a 20 page free card kit inside the mag as well as a stamp sheet on the front all for £4.99 and there is also a cd one too where you get 20 page kit plus a free full cd rom too for the same price I think they really are a bargain and so far I have collected them all lol.
So back to the tag I used the stamps and stamped in vintage photo distress ink and distressed the tag and suitcases in the same colour I have edged the tag with a darker distress ink to help it stand out a bit.I aso added some ribbon behind the elements to break sown the brown a little.For the Sentiment I have triple embossed using gold and stamped into it for more added texture then finished off with some dark brown ribbon at the top.
So please give me your honest opinions and where you think I could of made it better.
I would like to enter this tag into the following challenges:
Bearly mine-one for the boys
Stamptacular-Boy oh Boy
The stamp man-Tims tag techniques
Sentimental sundays-Masculine gift tags
Thankyou so much for popping by to see me and any comments would be greatly appriciated
much Love

I like it when you do something different & experiment with techniques. I know you want honesty & I really like this apart from just one thing - I think that white is too stark & it just doesn't do anything for me in terms of adding anything to the design. It draws my eye away from the whole cohesiveness of the tag which I thing is brilliant with those images & I absolutely love that brown ribbon & the way your elements come off the tag contours.
I'm not really anyone to judge design principles at all so I'd be interested in what other people say. Take care of yourself & much love from me......
