Current Allsorts Challenge

 The theme for this week's Allsorts Challenge is **Ribbon or Twine** or the usual *Anything Goes* with of course a lovely prize on offer.  Despite the fact that I have a huge selection of ribbons in my stash, I've chosen to use twine for this card.  I started by die cutting a fairly large tag and rummaged in my box of 'useful bits' and pulled out a couple of pieces of tissue paper on which I'd previously stamped some numbers and an old style typewriter using stamps from a couple of different magazine give-away sets. The pieces were adhered to the tag using Mod Podge, followed by some stencilling, inking and over stamping to add some visual texture.  Twine was used to wrap around the actual tag as well as being threaded through the top.  A die cut bee was coloured lightly with some toning ink and the wings brushed with Wink of Stella.  The design paper in the background came from an ancient 12" paper pad.

Tag - die set from Sizzix (Tim Holtz)
Numbers - stamp from Phill Martin magazine give-away a few years back
Typewriter - stamp from a more recent Stamping Magazine (Lou Collins designs)
Bee - die from Gummiapan
Words - sticker sheet also a magazine give-away (Indigo Blue I think)
Designer Paper - from a Tim Holtz 12" pad of kraft resist designs - years old!
