Journey Tag card

Frankie's challenge at Dragon's Dream Tag it on is 'Journey with a ticket to ride'. Frankie's challenges are always a real inspiration  but I didn't get my tag finished for last weeks challenge so I was determined to have a play this week and got seriously inky making this tag card

I've used a tag shaped card from my stash and stamped a background with lots of stamps - Non Sequitur stamps, text and ships from the Stampman and then lots of distress inks and glimmer mists in Moonlight and various brown shades to blend the inks together. I stamped the Stampman Ship stamp onto a scrap of  brown card and embossed with Antiquities EP before adding loads of Moonlight glimmer mist and Golden Dubloons Moonshadow ink. I did the same with a 'stamp' stamp from Non Sequitur and tore the images out before distressing the edges. I mopped up all the glimmer misty, inky mess with some pieces of string. I attached the main image with a brad so it can move around. It still looked a bit bare so I painted a parrot and chest (Mo Manning digistamps) with distress inks and more glimmer mists/ Moonshadow inks. I inked part of a cocktail stick for the parrots perch which stick out over the side of the card. To finish off I added an eyelet and the knotted  inky string . Apols for the dodgy photo - I can't seem to get a decent picture and the scanner is playing up.

I'm also entering this tag card in the following challenges:
