I try to see everything for what it could be, especially from a creative perspective. I used two tags, a plain manila and a wood one from Impress. I went nuts with stamps and distress inks, applying the distress inks with foam applicators. It was very random how I went at this and sometimes I think that works best for me, instead of thinking too much. Since I used the 'see everything' sentiment, I used some face beads and some old hardware that I had salvaged from my ex father in law's tool chest. And since I intend to paint my life's canvas, I added a little crackle paint in the corners (hard to see I think and it's not quite dry so it didn't crackle much yet.) TFL

Your sentiment is so apropos this little work of art! I love that you didn't plan a lot of this and just went where your creativity lead you. Awesome little collection of old hardware and charms and your crackle corners are just right on this!
