Tim Holtz 12 tags of 2015 February

Here I am doing the second tag of the year!! go me LOL

Here is my take on the tutorial from Tim Holtz 12 tags of 2015 Feb 

I also decided to add in a little challenge to myself and fit in Linda Ledbetter Compendium of Curiosity challenge into this tag. If you have Tim's book you can turn to page 62 to learn how to use the dimensional cutting pad!.


Also this month  The Funkie Junkie Boutique is  sponsoring this challenge :)

Compendium of Curiosities 3 challenge #9

Challenge #9  comes from page 63. We are playing with these fun Sizzix Alteration Framelits!  I love the combo of a sizzix die and stamp set that works together. Tim has a few of them out and at this moment I only own one set.

I decided I needed to get a gift box ready. I used the Tim Holtz sizzix jumbo flower die for the first time and I just LOVE it! I thought I would be able to work the butterflies into my project.

The butterflies come from the  "french flight" sizzix framelit set. I stamped the butterflies onto watercolour paper, that I coloured with distress markers. Once dried, I added a layer of crackle paint. Once the crackle paint was set I filled in the cracks with distress inks.

Here is a close up

From each challenge, the curiostiy crew picks a winner who will recieve an assortment of goodies from Tim and Mario!!
Also for this challenge Inspiration Emporium will be sponsoring with an awesome 50.00 shopping spree to one lucky random winner!

Compendium of Curiosities 3 challenge #8

I have been on holidays and missed a couple of the challenges. I am back with just a couple days left to enter challenge #8

The challenge we are working on is from page 58 Faded Layers.

I love these stencils!

I cannot tell you how I did this piece but I will tell you what colours I used.
The alcohol inks I used were sunset orange, clover, stream and silver. I also used a bit of silver acrylic paint. For the ribbon I used spiced marmalade, and tumbled glass.

I am needing to make a few thank you cards so I thought I would start making them now :)

Once again The Funkie Junkie Boutique is sponsoring this challenge with a 25.00 shopping spree!

CC3C challenge #4

Compendium of Curiosities 3 challenge #4

Our challenge this week comes from page 49 Layering Stencil: Texture Paste

I enjoyed playing along in this challenge. This was the first time that I played with the texture paste in this way.
I even added some paint into my project. The lamp post was cut from a cereal box using the Tim Holtz holiday lamp post die. I then painted it black and edged with gold acrylic paint love that look.  I even snuck some of the gold paint onto the sunrays :)

Great News!

CC3C #3

Compendium of Curiosities 3 challenge #3

Once again I have turned to another page in this great book and found  this next challenge. The challenge is to use Tim's Faux Tea Rose Technique
I can't tell you how I made my roses but I will say that I cut them down so they would be smaller and fit on the ole jalopy :) I cut the flowers from white cardstock and then sprayed them with a mix of fired brick distress ink mixed with perfect pearls love the glimmer they have.

I loved the first challenge so much that I wanted to give it another try. I was going for a sunset. I really do like this technique.

The following products were also used:
perfect pearls mists heirloom gold
Ranger foil cardstock
Tim Holtz's collage embossing folder
distress paints
distress inks
Tim Holtz old Jalopy sizzix die

Once again Inspiration Emporium will be sponsoring this challenge. One lucky winner will win a 50.00 gift certificate!!

All the best
