key to my tag

this tag took a while to do yesterday because of all the drying time.  there is a lot going on in this tag except for stamping...that's right I said no stamping...I just never got around to fitting any stamping on it.  I followed Tim Holtz instructions as best I could but as usual I didn't have all the supplies he did so I improvised the best I could with what I own.  For example I don't have the seahorse/sand dollar die but I used some grunge board pieces I did have like this big key which I think turned out pretty good with the painting and distressing with the distress embossing powder on it.  My "sand" came out more like a dirt color but it works for my tag because my key is kinda rustic looking sticking out of my dirt.  And my friend would be proud of me because I made a BIG tag it's 4 1/8" x 8 1/2"!  needed to make it that size to fit my key because I didn't want it overtaking the smaller size tag.
