Grungy Monday # 18 meets with Tim Holtz Christmas Tags


This week at Grungy Monday Linda of Studio L3 has us being inspired by Tim's Christmas tag #8 of 2009. Our journey of Christmas tags from start to finish is also Tag 8. Simon Says Stamp and Show wants to see a tag. This is a bonus for me because I am busy getting ready to go on holidays.  I really like the tag that Tim created for day 8. Go here to have a look. This may be where his inspiration for glassine paper came from.
To create my tag I used : Ranger archival black ink, Th distress inks- antique linen, walnut stain, aged mahogany, forest moss, black soot,old paper and vintage photo
Stamps: lamp post, flourish, Merry C. are TH, music is River City Rubber, holly is Stampington.
I also used Rock Candy distress crackle paint,  aged mahogany distress stickles and glossy accents- Ranger
tag and ticket are TH Ranger, mini clips-TH. Ribbon and embellishments are from my stash.


Thank you for looking!

    What a happy coincidence! I remember having a bit of trouble with this technique. Yours came out great.

    Hello Donna,

    Well... you're early ! :)

    I recognize a lot of tim's tag in yours. Perfect way to learn from the master himself.
    You did use your own stuff to create yours, so that's perfect !

    greetings from belgium
