Out of my comfort zone

Good Morning,  As I was up and showered and dressed before 7.30 this morning, for the second time this week (unheard of normally, my alarm doesn't even go off until 8.30!) I decided to have a play.  After seeing Frankie's tag for her TIO challenge - Dreaming Haute Couture  I thought I would have a go. I started off by colouring the tag with Silkies -Tuscan Satin, Pearl Satin and a very little amount of Bronze Brocade I bought these early last year and this is the first time I have actually used them. I found out an old set of Art Deco unmounted stamps and overstamped the background with scent bottles and handbags, with DI Tea Dye,  I also stamped 'Dream a little Dream' randomly.  The main image is coloured with Promarkers and mounted onto some brown cs. I've had these stamps for ages and cannot remember the manufacturer. I added the feather and a couple of hatpins.  I finished off with the flower which was white, I swiped it with Versamark and then dusted it with some mica powder to tone in with the card. 

I am also entering my tag into My Time to Craft - Ladies Day
