Vintage lady clown

     It's new release time at A Day For Daisies and this week Tammy has some amazing vintage clown images to share.  Hope you're ready for another kitchen sink tag.  I'm going to have to take a pic of my table next time I make one of these.  LOL  It's pretty scary looking.  :-)
     I was so pleasantly surprised to see Distress Stain three packs at my Michael's this week.  Snapped up a couple of them with those handy dandy 40% off coupons so I could play with this tag.  I put the stains on my craft mat and swirled the tag through them, spritzed with water and dried.  I then embossed the tag with an argyle folder and added Vintage Photo Distress embossing powder the the edges.  It was a little too thick for my liking so I scraped quite a bit off, but it left a cool lighter edging.  I inked up a splotch stamp with Versamark and used some gold embossing powder for that.  I already had the elephant sticker on there so you can see some of the embossing on him.  The banner pieces were cut freehand from chipboard.  I covered them with Snow Cap paint dabber and then stamped the dotted flag on top after it dried.  The ticket was created using a blank my friend Dana created combined with a fun Create with TLC sentiment added to the middle.  I dyed my white seam binding with the stain.  The image is colored with Copics.  I originally did it with Distress inks but messed it up when I decided to try to "antique" it with Old Paper.  Printer ink DOES NOT like Distress inks and it smeared and made her arms grey.  YUCK!  It was a bit too washed out even without the Old paper so I decided to redo it in Copics.  And there you have it!  Another "everything but the kitchen sink" tag.  :-)
     Yikes!  Typing this up I just remembered that this release marks a new challenge at the ADFD blog too and we want to see "polka dots".  Good thing I put those polka dots on the pennants!  LOL
     Hope you'll come play along.
     I'd like to enter my tag into the following challenges:

Sarah Hurley--tags and tickets
The Cheerful Stamp Pad--tags
Incy Wincy--spots and dots

     Happy weekend!
