Crafting Time DT - diecuts

 For this week's theme Crafting Time provided me with a few diecuts which I used to create this tag (you can find them in the shop) ...
 
I used distress inks in vintage sepia, walnut stain, broken china and faded jeans for all the elements within the tag.  Having distressed the background I stamped a Hero Arts collage stamp over it and painted parts of the butterfly with distress inks.  I die cut the weathered clock, butterflies and on the edge fence out of cardstock and distressed them using the same distress inks.  I stamped over the top of the butterflies using a Tim Holtz stamp, inked up in walnut stain distress ink, and added some flat backed pearls.  Finally I added and adage ticket and some seam binding to finish the tag off.
