This tag is made from the technique Faded Layers which is on Page 43 on T!ms Compendium of Curiosities 2:
Background is inked with Spun Sugar, Victorian Velvet and Crushed Olive. Then I used a Creative Expressions cog mask with Vintage Photo ink. The background stamp was Watch Gears by Hero Arts and then I used three of T!ms Mini Muse stamps all inked with Black Archival. The cogs are from T!ms sizzix die and are inked with Vintage Photo and edged with Black Soot, the tag is also edged with Black Soot. I used metal washers coloured with Slate and Snow Cap alcohol inks and the screw brads are some old Karen Foster ones that I have squirreled away in my stash. Finished the tag with a steampunk badge from Hobbycraft, a T!m metal cog, some pink and kraft twine and a bit of doodling with a white pen.
To join in the fun pop over to Studio L3.
Thanks for looking - Cogging along from Solihull

Great tag Nicola. I missed out on last week's as life got in the way but I have tomorrow to do some crafting (Hubby playing in the shed) so I will do the Challenge first.

Oh, how cool!!! I love how you used the cogs-- very clever!-- and your faded layers look awesome. Another spectacular tag from the Sunshine Girl!
Oh love the use of the screw brads with the cogs. I've run out of those - remember hesitating before finishing up the packet. Way cool effect.
