Happy New Year Tag

Created this Happy New Year Tag using mostly Cricut & Tim Holtz products.

Started making the tag 1st wk of Jan but did not like the way it looked so I kept trying and finally finished it and am happy with the way it looks.

Cut the tag out of a recycled scrap piece of manilla folder using Cricut cartridge Tags, Bags, Boxes & More. Embossed the tag with Tim Holtz SteamPunk embossing folder. Used TH Distress Inks iced spruce first & then stormy sky on the embossed tag and walnut stain on the edges. Used water droplets on the Distress Ink. Use TH Gadget Gears die to cut 3 gears out of TH grunge paper. Used TH Metallics Copper, Gold & Silver on the gears. Run the gears thru Paper Crimper. Used 3 long fasteners/brads in center of the gears. Used Wild Card Cricut cartridge to cut the phrase "Happy New Year" out of scrap piece of Kraft cardstock. Added a piece of Vintage Twine.
