I used a digital stamp from Simply Betty called "The Oval Portrait" for my "dirty vintage" tag. I hope you like it!

I printed the stamp out on lined design paper and colored the image with colored pencils and blended with mineral spirits. I then did some masking. I muddied up the image with brown shoe polish (using the provided sponge applicator) and splattered with black paint. I also gave it a little sparkle with copper glimmer mist. The tag is embellished with a skeleton key, a scrap of ruffle yarn, ribbon and twine.
Thanks for looking. Now it is time to slip over to Anna's to see how she interpreted the "dirty" vintage theme!
Because I am challenge obsessed, I am entering this tag in the following challenges:
Left of Center - ribbon/twine
613 Avenue Create - #15 anything goes
Haunted Design House - #165 skeletons
Simon Says Stamp & Show - backgrounds
Desert Island Crafters - black, red, no markers, glitter
Through the Craftroom Door - anything goes
Addicted to Stamps (10) - #41 anything goes
