Rusted Enamel

This tag started out as a piece of rusted enamel for the latest Compendium of Curiosities challenge (page 41 if you need the 'how to' details). My 1st time at rusted enamel and as Miranda's mum would say "Such fun!" My 2nd rusted enamel project, a little box frame, is already on the way.
I've stamped and cut out Girls Paperie patterned paper using the stamp from this month's Craft Stamper. Then layered up the flowers using ideas from the magazine and finishing with some little flower buttons. I did make some far more elaborate flowers but decided they weren't right for this project, so I have them in hand for something else. The dress form is a Glitz stamp and the leaves are a Sizzix die-cut. I finished off the whole thing with a sticker cut from a Brenda Pinnick pack and mounted on the reverse of the same patterned paper I had already used.

Here's a close-up of the rusted enamel effect.
Challenges:
Studio L3 #31 - Rusted enamel
Fab 'n' Funky #59 - Tempting Texture
Altered Alice #1 - Dress form (does this count as altering, I'm not sure?)

I think your Rusted Enamel technique turned out as one of the best I have seen. Lots of rust showing on your beautiful tag. Good Luck in the challenge.

Kate, this is sensational! You did an amazing job on the rusted enamel (and took a great photo of it, too!), and your design is so sweet and pretty. That Girls Paperie paper is fabulous, isn't it?? I love those cool, mod flowers, too.
