'tagging'

This is the first of some tags I have been making. I used distress inks for the background and then edged it with gold paint. The wee stamp is by Magenta. I restamped the cat on to plain paper and glued him over the image. Finished off with a circle cut from a gold doyley, and a decorative button.
I would like to enter the following challenges.

Fluttering By

Cardmaking Paradise (see link on my sidebar)
The front is embossed with Tim Holtz Damask folder. and then heat embossed with Winter Illusion ep. The body is made from little beads and the antennae are flower stamens which just happened to be a matching colour.
