Dragons Dream - TIO - O and Rust

Welcome to another challenge from the Dragons-Dream Team.
The delightful Julie Ann has set this fortnight's theme - the letter is O and the theme rust - either rusty colours, rusting powder, rusty old items... as long as you use one real stamp and a tag, the rest is up to you.

I settled for rusty colours, as (as always!) I've left this to the last minute and don't have time to try out my rusting powder and couldn't find anything truly rusty "hanging about"

 I covered the tag with Rusty Hinge distress ink and then spritzed it with water, to allow the colour to wick before drying it.  I added the diamonds (Kaisercraft stamp) in Vintage Photo and the edges were coloured with both inks.

 added some more Rusty Hinge, then stamped the script (from one of Sara Naumann's new Paperartsy sets) in black archival, without mounting it on a block

Added a piece of rope ribbon (it's actually silver but I tried to colour it (badly) with a reinker/copper perfect pearl mix) which didn't really work)

 and stamped the owls - Paperartsy - on tissue, painting from behind with translucent Frescos in Brown Shed, Autumn Fire and a hint of Yellow Submarine which I added to the front too.
Tore the owls out as close as I could, painted the reverse with Chalk Fresco

and once they were glued to the tag, I went over the tissue edges first with Wild Honey distress pen, then a light covering of Rusty Hinge ink with the blending tool.

The final touch was a metal zipper pull and a piece of ribbon.

Hope you'll come along and join the Dragons again, we'd love to see you join in - and we don't really breathe fire!
