Distressed summer Tilda

My Magnolia Stamp kit has finally arrived ... couldn't wait to ink this gorgeous one up ... but didn't feel like doing a cute card so I went for the more grungey look.
I am entering this into this week's Simon Says Stamp (sketch which I rotated), Cute Card Thursday (eyelets) and Charisma Cardz (Tag it).
I watercoloured Tilda and cut her out. I distressed the tag in traditional Tim Holtz fashion and when it was dry added the text and the bit of raffia. The dp has been distressed using a distressing tool and faded jeans ink. To add the texture I used raffia and the eyelets just punched wherever! I used a stencil to added the yellow scrolls to the corners.
Here's a close up of the tag - I am really pleased with the distressed background - it does look watery.

I love this stamp - there is a photo of me when I was about three years old in a similar style swimming costume - I loved it because when you first went in the water the skirt floated!!! Oh the memories - might see if I can dig a pic out!!
