The background is brayered with Salty Ocean, Picked Raspberry and Mown Lawn Distress Inks (I decided it needed to be bright for Mr B!). I added drops of water and some pearl Glimmer Mist and when dry ran it through my Cuttlebug using the clock embossing folder which I think is Creative Expressions. I highlighted the embossed areas with Distress Inks. The pictures are downloaded and printed from the internet and are all album covers ranging from late sixties to mid nineties. I covered each image with versamark and embossed with clear powder so they look like record sleeves. You can't see the shine in the photo unfortunately. The ribbon looks more delicate in the picture than it is in real life. Its white sheer ribbon coloured with Distress Inks. I deliberately left the heat gun on the ribbon too long so it would curl up as I didn't want it drooping over the pictures.
If you can, please hop over to the Craft Barn and see the other amazing entries and DT projects and maybe join in - its a really fun challenge!

Hi Chris,
David Bowie is definitely someone that has had many looks over the years. I think I know the song you are referring to but am not sure.
Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment on my Flat Susan post. She was definitely fun to have!
Hugs,
Kay
Great tag Christine what a fun idea.
Hugs Diane
What a pretty tag. I love the colors you chose and what a neat idea to emboss the clip art so they would look album covers. I was never much of a Bowie fan, but I do seem to have a lot of friends that are!
A wonderful tag, Chris. I love the colours - it is so cheerful. A great tribute, too.
Hope you had a good Easter. Jx
You do such an incredible job with these tags, Christine! This is an amazing and colorful tribute to an amazing and colorful icon!! Hugs, Darnell
