This tag is inspired by Tim's May Tag Challenge showcasing tiled embellishments.  The theme for this piece comes via the man in my life.  He is my co-adventurers and partner in crime (reads like a pirate to me), this is "All About Him" and the [vintage] journey we share.

  9. Your tiled tag is very very VERY cool! I love all of your elements and the different steps you went through to create such a work of art! Please be sure that you describe what Tim influence that would ahve inspired you to create this masculine masterpiece! And also be sure to mention our challenge and to link it back in your blog post. I would hate for you to miss out on being considered for our prize because these things were lacking in your post. Your art is amazing! Thanks for sharing it with us at A Vintage Journey. <3 Candy
