Tim Holtz - 12 tags of Christmas 2010 -Day 12

  Oh yeah we have completed a whole year in the Tim Holtz Christmas tags from start to finish. This one is all about fragments.  I like fragments but wouldn't usually put so many on one tag.  Link up to Kathy's blog "Inkin it Up" if you decide to join in so we can come and admire your work. You only need to use the technique. All the rest is up to you. 
  I had to go to the big city for a few days so I am way behind on posting and blogging.  Hopefully I can play catch up today.  
 Thank you for looking! Hope you got to see the "super moon". It was amazing!

Tim Holtz - 12 tags of Christmas- 2007- #9

Here we are with tag#9 for 2007. This was a pretty easy one as I had all the pieces. It is never too late to join in and you don't need to make the tags with a Christmas theme. If you decide to play, link your tag to "Inkin It Up" where Kathy has a place for us to link up.

They are saying it might snow today and already a few flakes have fallen. This is not normal for February. I hope you have a great weekend and Thank you for looking!

Tim Holtz - 12 tags of Christmas- 2007- #8

Here is my tag 8 for my challenge with Kathy Eddy at "Inkin It Up". Had to use a different stamp and for the embellishment I painted a little plastic sled. It is so frosty today that you could probably use a sled. Thank you for looking!

Tim Holtz - 12 tags of Christmas- 2007- #7

What a coincidence that CCC and Tag 7 of the 2007 tags of Christmas are both using the rusted enamel technique this week. I love the look and feel you get with this. I have made many backgrounds with it over the last few days and embossing powder seems to have spread everywhere. I did not have Tim's NOEL stamp so I used this one. I ended up using re-inkers for the painting. I couldn't get bright enough shades with the ink pads. The photo corners are from an old album. I sanded them and inked them with black soot. Come visit "Inkin It Up" to see who is playing.

Thank you for looking!

Tim Holtz - 12 tags of Christmas- 2007- #5

I love blue alcohol inks so tag # 5 from 2007 was a fun one to do except for those splashes of alcohol ink. Tim made it look so easy. Not. My splashes are not so little. My snowflakes are made from inked parchment paper. Come and see who is playing at "Inkin It Up".

Thank you for looking!

Tim Holtz - 12 tags of Christmas- 2007 #4

Here is my 4th tag for Kathy's Start to Finish challenge. My tag doesn't look anything like Tim's but I have used the techniques he used. I don't have the stamp he used and I couldn't find one that would give the effect his did. I ended up using an ATC stamp of Tim's and mounting it on a larger tag.

Thank you for looking!

The 12 tags of Christmas -2007 - Tag 3

My tag 3 of 2007 does not look very much like Tim's but I did use the same technique. I don't have any red or green distress embossing powder or the Santa he used so I decided to use a Santa from Artistic Outpost. I have used black soot, vintage photo and walnut stain distress embossing powders. This is such a fun technique. I love how when you tap the paper from underneath the powders jump into position. My problem is having them stay there once you have embossed. The little girl and the scroll are from from Crafty Secrets. The holly and crown are TH. If you go to "Inkin it Up" Kathy has a link so we can come and see your tags.

Have you been watching Tim's previews of all the 2011 releases. It is amazing! So far I want almost everything. I wish CHA was every 2 years to give me time to save up and to make more use of what I have. They say you can't have everything - but you can try!

Thank you for looking!
