I am also entering my tag into Hel's Sunday Stamper which is to use Pink.
The chap with his unique look is from Vintage Inventor by Creative Expressions. He is stamped with black Versafine, embossed with clear powder and coloured in with paints and Promarkers. The roses on his top hat are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The birds are Sizzix dies and the background is inked with Picked Raspberry and Spun Sugar Distress Paints and water and then embossed with the Cuttlebug Chicken Wire folder. I have edged the tag and lyrics with black paint and added a bit of Treasure Gold to the embossing. The ribbon is from my stash along with the wire and bead for his earring.
If you have a chance, please pop over to The Craft Barn and Hel's Blog to see all the fab projects.
I hope you have a lovely weekend. Thank you so much for visiting me, I really do appreciate it lots! Take care. Christine xx

I love the chicken wire EF. What an original tag and I like reading the story behind the person.
Such great colours and detailing, Chris ... the earring is so fun and unexpected! Anita :)
What a fantastic tag Sue, I have always loved that CE image and he looks even better with his earring! That is such a great story too - it is a 'truth is stranger than fiction' story if ever there was one! Hugs, Anne x
I fear I've never heard of this singer, but it is certainly a wonderful story.
You put a lot of effort into this tag, and it represents the lyrics perfectly. I'm not a stamper, but I really like that image. Lovely colorful tag!!
Gorgeous tag, the image is original and I love the chicken wire embossing, it really looks the part!
Terrific tag with wonderful stamped image and the great chicken wire background.
Enjoyed reading you post.
Love Chrissie x
I have not heard of Rodriguez, but he sounds very interesting. Will look out for the film.
Your card looks great. The stamped man definitely looks unique - I love the roses and the birds - and I like the textured pattern on the background. Fab! Jx

Fabulous EF background, never heard of the gentleman or his music, thanks for the information. Part of taking part in this challenge is all the wonderful snippets of history and different music i am being introduced to :-) xxx

Hi Chris what a brilliant tag! At first I thought it was Edgar Allen Poe but then read your peice, I must admit I don't think I have heard of this singer. Susan xx
Love what you did with the inventor man stamp... he looks dapper with his special hat... Apologies for my late visiting ... been trapped in the greenhouse under several tonnage of tomato plants :O) Thanks for joining in with the Sunday Stamper x
Your unique tag is just that, Christine, unique and wonderful!! We have seen that documentary and I agree with what you said about him!!
Hope things are a bit better. I think of you often! Enjoy the weekend! Hugs, Darnell
Just goes to show you that you can't trust those rumors! What a neat tag-truly unique. I love the flowers and that eyelash fringe. That earring gave me a good chuckle!
This is so creative and unique Chris - I love it!!
