WOYWW - another tag

It can't be Wednesday again already?!! That means it's time to get nosing round people's work desks again here where our hostess with the mostest Julia encourages us to share deep and dark secrets from our craft spaces.

Well, I wasn't out with the camera last weekend (too busy crafting), so no more inside my drawers this week, sorry!  I had so many lovely comments last week, I hope you'll forgive me not having any more revelations this week (I am working on trying to sort the software for the digital camera so I can transfer the photos to the computer. At the moment I can take the pics but not upload them to the computer, so bear with me!!)

I made this tag (which I realise is sort of green-y which means I can claim is meant for St Patrick's Day today for all those of an Irish persuasion!)
I used tumbled glass and shabby shutters distress inks on the tag, sprayed a couple of perfect pearl/DI reinker combo's to tone with the tag inks, stamped a French script stamp in black, and "the crimson fan" stamp by Acey Deucy, which I haven't used for ages (where have I heard that before recently?) and added a grungeboard butterfly which I inked and sprayed and sanded, and some green wire mesh instead of a ribbon.

I am scheduling this post to appear around 10 am and if I can sneak onto Julia's blog while no-one is working I will link it as soon as her post comes up.  It's such a PAIN having to work.... though if I didn't, I would have no money to indulge this passion! 
Edit - schedule didn;t work - I didn't do it right when I finished typing the post this morning so at least I can link it now (lunchtime!)

I love your tag, there's just sooo much going on in it..in fact, I can imagine the messy desk this tag would've made!! (Or is that just me?)
