So I gave this technique a second try....my first...while ok, just didn't have...this nice look. ;-) happy with this one....love circus stamps, and taking the Creative Chemistry class by Tim Holtz has showed me to 'go ahead' and add other interesting stamps or colors....don't think too much about it....have fun!   So I did....and voila, tag came out much better the second time.  

So in class, we get the secrets of his great techniques....but also learn to 'let go' and have fun....and guess what....that makes everything BETTER!  Thanks Tim! he he
