The Everything Tag & I'm Celebrating..and Distressing

My "TAG" today was made for many Challenges. I started with a piece of white cardboard, distressed it with tearing layers off and using the Ranger Distress Inks, Peeled Paint, Barn Door,and Tea Dye. I made the"Grunge Flowers" with Tim Holtz's Grunge Paper, cut out with  Sizzex Nested Flowers and a #3 Sixxlits, they were the size I needed here, distressed with the Barn Door Red, some Antique Linen.

The Leaves were made with the Spellbinders Assorted Leaves Die from Colored Paper, even some old sheet music paper and distressed.The bottom leave was distressed with Pine Needle.  I used the TH Distree Applicator, his Memo Pin at the Top with 2 wooden beads. The Adage Ticket "Play" from TH idea-ology book.
The "Note" Stamp was a garage sale find, Memento Brown and the Spellbinders Label Die. The Fibers, Stick Pins, Pearls, "Clear Button and Bead" are from my little Treasure Chest of Oddities.  I also used a Paper Piercer on the Edges.
The Old Sheet Music is really "OLD"..in an auction box I purchased sometime ago.
