Adored

I've been experimenting a LOT with Mixed Media lately
as well as moving more into tag making.

This tag came out with a few imperfections...
but it's a step in a new direction anyway.

~Adored~

I had MEANT to lightly mist the tag with a bit of Tattered Leather and ended up with a GLOB of Haunted Shadow.

Don't know, Don't how but it's there now!!! LOL
