Steampunk Easter tag

I tell you that I'm totally hooked on making tags with Cottontail. But this time, I have made a steampunk version.

For this, I cut out a tag from chipboard. I put a layer of black gesso, then painted with Faded Jeans Distress paint.

When it was dry, I inked the edges with Black Soot Archival ink, then embossed with silver the edges, using the dotty stamp from the Spring Shadows stamp set. And I also stamped and heat embossed the word Spring from the same stamp set.  

I put a layer of black gesso onto the bunny's surface, then I glued the gears on. Then I painted silver.
