Tim Tag~April 2015~12 Tags of 2015

Happy Sunday!

Hope you had a fabulous weekend!

I made some time to finish up my April Tim Tag. Yay, done before the end of the month, hehe.

It was another improvise project, not having all the supplies used on his tag. You can see his awesome step by step HERE

I love the improv, definitely makes ya think!

Here we go, please click if you would like to see it bigger:)

I cut my tag from a manila folder. I inked the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink then splashed with some water.

I used two flowers from Inkadinkado that have stems sorta on the long side, the only ones I own. I used various Distress Inks to watercolor them.

I am really enjoying using the Remnant Rubs for my words and sentiments lately. I used a Tim butterfly die to cut out the smallest one on the word band.

I really love the simple vintage-feel tag this month. So fine and fresh for Spring. I really loved cutting the slot to pass the image sheet through. I will try to remember it and do it again...

Have a super wonderful week and thanks so much for stopping by!

I included several pictures, I love how the slight angle change alters the colors :)

I used the Dot Fade stencil with texture paste. The butterfly stamp is Unity, I don't have a Tim one...yet :) It is on my wish list for sure!

Tim Tag~February 2015~12 Tags of 2015

Hi!

Today I just wanted to share the tag I made for Tim's 12 Tags of 2015.
This was a lot of fun to make and I did some improvising along the way, making what I have on-hand, work for the project. The is actually the most fun part sometimes :)

You can see all the lovely entries and the challenge HERE at Tim's blog.

And this is my entry. I hope you like it!

Please click the images to see it a bit bigger:)

To make the collage base, I made up my own ephemera using a couple of 12x12 sheet of Tim Holtz paper. I picked images that I liked, clocks, kitty, the bingo cards are fun not sure why I love them but I do :)

I used matte medium to adhere the pieces to the tag and a thin coat over the top to lock it down. I really like how it dried so soft and non-tacky.

I used Picket Fence Distress Paint along the edges and across some parts to lighten it up, parts seemed a bit dark. Once dry, I added another layer of matte medium. Once this layer dried, I darkened the edges, love how it brought in more depth!

I cut the heart from felt using a Sizzix mini heart movers die. I attached it using the Idea-ology long fastener. The crinkly ribbon I colored with Distress Ink Tea Dye one of my new favorite colors.

I cut the flower using a Holtz Tattered Floral die from metal tape. I embossed it with the chicken wire folder. It is painted with Black Soot Distress Paint.  I used some Holtz Rub-ons for the arrows and "choose joy". I love polka dots so I had to include them somehow. This dotted ribbon is actually seem binding.

I am really happy with this tag, I love how it came togther.

Anxious to hear what you think, too!

Have a super day!
