I wasn't feeling the technique used for the focal image so I did my own and water colored the Tim Holtz leaf stamp and then cut it out and dipped it in UTEE.

I had a lot of fun with this technique and love the effect it created.

I wanted to go with a St. Patrick's theme for this month's tag. I made the clover using Tim Holtz movers and shapers heart along with his mixed media die. I tried out my Ranger Patina paints on a plain silver label embellishment.

I didn't have the frosted crystal embossing powder so I experimented with some of my other powders and ended up using Pumice Stone embossing powder, turned out pretty good if I may say so myself. :-)

Halloween Tag

First Halloween tag of the year. I covered a plain tag with burlap and then sprayed it with black soot ink once dried I used a layering stencil and embossing paste to make the background. When the paste was dried I then colored the raised words with spiced marmalade, seedless preserves and twisted citron. I then used one of the labels from the label dies set and the sized oval to make a frame. The bat was cut from the new Hocus Pocus die out of canvas and then sprayed with seedless preserves distress spray ink. I sponged embossing ink onto the frame and sprinkled with black soot embossing powder and heat set it. Also used was Tim Holtz mini Halloween 2 stamp set and crackle accents to fill in the frame area.

For this tag I didn't want to use the "found relatives" cards from Tim Holtz because I wanted to make it a little more personalized by using an actual relative. So I dug through some pictures and came across this one of my Grandpa's brother from WWII. I had a lot of fun making this tag with all of the different layers and mediums and happy with how it turned out.

I don't think I have ever gotten a tag done this early in the month :-)

I am happy with how this tag turned out. I didn't have the Photobooth images, the tiny tattered florals die, or the small talk stickers so I dug into my stash and used what I had. I went rummaging through some of my grandma's old photographs and found the perfect image. I used 3 different colors of distress markers to color the photo with. For the flowers I used the Tattered Flower Garland die from Tim Holtz and stacked some of the flowers together to make them 3-d. I also didn't have the ephemera pack so I just cut images out of some of Tim's paper stacks.
