12 Tags of 2015 - August - Looking on the bright side

 

It has been a few months since I have played along with Tim's tags. Wasn't convinced by this one until I tried it - then I loved it!! You can see Tim's here. I was at my craft weekend when I did it so didnt have too many supplies , so went with grungepaper, distress painted umbrella man for my main feature.

Ooops bit out of focus there - sorry. Thanks for visiting.

Happy Times (12 Tags of 2015 - April)

I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. Thanks for the recent comments and visits - I really appreciate you stopping by.

I will keep this one quick - my Tim tag for April. I was lacking the resources used by Tim so changed things round a bit - I should have gone bigger than a No 8 tag as my Runway girls needed a little more space! Loved Tim's version. might have to invest in the flower stamps after all.

See you soon

March Tim Tag part 2

Morning everyone. Here is my March Tim tag version 2 - you can see version 1 here if you missed it. This one started as a mop of up tag of distress sprays so no paint marbling for the background as Tim did. I also embossed the butterfly twice as I tried to use a more subtle colour which didn't work so I went over with black ink and embossed again. This has created a slightly different effect but definitely lost the crispness of the image!

Thanks for taking time to stop by.

Tim Tag - March 2015

I do hope you are having a lovely weekend. Just a quick post today to share my version of Tim Holtz tag for March. You can find his version here. Best laid plans and all that.... this is not how it started out! I started with some fairly neutral distress paint marbling but halfway through I decided to spritz the whole tag with broken china distress spray - so not much marbling on offer!

I am halfway through I slightely more colourful version which I will hopefully post in the week.

Thanks for looking today.

Tim Tag - February

Hi everyone and a big hello to a few recent new followers - thank you so much for joining. 

Here is my take on Tim Holtz's February tag ... you can find his here.

I loved his techniques this month but as it is now nearly the end of Feb and I don't have felt - I decided against the Valentine theme and stuck with the stamp set of the moment for me - Bird Crazy. There are a couple of cards on my desk waiting to be photographed using the birds too - must move on to something else soon!

Have a great Wednesday wherever you are, whatever you are doing today.

Tim Tag - January 2015

Time for my Tim Tag for January - really enjoyed this one particularly my background which I fear may be slightly lost in photography!

I used a previously messed up tag (with texture and reds!) to cover in tissue and then got playing with distress paints and sprays - including my favourite - tarnished brass.

A few close ups:

Am late to the party this month which means we don't have long to wait for the February one - yea!

Thanks for looking
