...well I never, Monday crept up on and whizzed past while I was preoccupied with all things eBay (am getting rid of all my Tilda and cute stamps, I don't use them any more so why keep 'em LOL *ahem, plus the fact... sell old stash = ££ which in turn = new stash... mwahhahahahhaaaa!!!*) So, I spent Monday being all efficient and doing listings and when I finally realised the time it was Tuesday already... so what is all this waffle about days of the week? Well, it just so happens that every Monday there is a brand new theme on the Compendium of Curiosities Challenge... if you haven't heard of this phenomenon, please click HERE to be whisked off to Linda's blog where you can see all the deets you need and see the lovely prizes on offer too... 
So, this week is one of my fave techniques and I just love the way the effects take place, like magic, when doused in a bit of water. And cos the name of the technique is Perfect Distress, I decided to make the actual tag imperfect, full of scuffed bits and looking rather worse for wear... like a juxtaposition between the "perfect" theme and the "imperfect style" Please don't worry, I am the real Hels typing all this and I haven't gone all philosophy-wotsit... I just like the word juxtaposition and like to drop it into sentences whenever I can LOL
So... do you like my Rosette??? I didn't want the Rosette to be solid cos this covers up half the techniquey bit, so I decided to pull the perferations apart to make the Rosette more flower like - I quite like it .. I could have done it neater but then it would be as shabby as I wanted... I embellished my tag with Idea-ology - lots of it, love Idea-ology (no? never? you would never have realised that wouldya? ROFL) and I popped a Ticket image into the Bracket Plate.

Love This!!
Great tag! I really like the rosette this way. (not that I don't like it the other way, but, you know...)
I love this tag. The metal and the rosette are nice on that stamped background.
Gorgeous colours & design Hels! That rosette looks fab! xx
Hels, you brilliant girl, this is an absolutely ROCKIN' tag! The Perfect Distress is... well, perfect, and the steampunk-y metallics are FABULOUS! I love the way you grunged up the rosette-- it's shabby in the very best sense, and the Idea-ology bits just make it even cooler.
If Jules Verne were a papercrafter in the 21st century, this is the tag he'd attempt to make. It's genius. Well, actually, YOU are genius, and the tag is proof.
