Only one more to go for 2008. I cheated with this one- using fragments I had already made. It is a simple one compared to many of the Christmas tags. I wish I had one of those splatter brushes. I have been using an old electric toothbrush. It works but not as good. Go to "Inkin' it Up" to see more.
Remember that leaky roof I told you about. Well it is finally getting replaced. Rick and some friends are doing it and I get to be the maid. I was even up there pulling the old nails yesterday and I have a big blister to prove it. Note to self - wear gloves when using a crowbar. We are finally getting some sunshine and warmer weather, at least for a few days. I will be happy when it is all done.
Thank you for looking!
I am posting my 'Tim's Christmas tags from start to finish' early this week because I am going away for the weekend. Remember way back when Kathy Eddy challenged me to complete all of Tim's Christmas tags. We are still at it and the farther away from Christmas it gets the harder it is for me to persist. But I am. Go to Tim's blog to check out his version of this tag. And see out who else is playing at Inkin It Up.
It has been a crazy week for me and I haven't had much time for blogging. Maybe next week will be better. I hope you all have a great weekend! Thank you for looking!
Here is tag #8 from 2008. It has lots of gold embossing on it which doesn't scan well. I used alcohol ink on gold ribbon for the hangers. My painted ornaments didn't want to crackle so I used Rock Candy crackle paint on a crackle stamp over top and then used distress ink in the cracks after it had dried. Have a look over at "Inkin It Up" to see some lovely examples.
Thank you for looking! I hope everyone's blog are back to normal.
I am still hanging in with Kathy's challenge to do Tim's Christmas tags from start to finish. We are now on year 2008 #5. This seemed to be a year of embellishments for the Master. My tag is similar to Tim's but I used different supplies for the embellishing. The background is done with a paint and embossing powder resist technique. My reindeer is stamped and cut out of grunge paper and then embossed with a Cuttlebug snowflake folder, then painted and then sanded and then distressed. There is a link at "Inkin It Up" if you want to join in. Alison from Craftytrogs Inky Adventures is making a card and a tag each week. She will be so ready for Christmas.
Thank you for looking!
Here we are on week 4 of 2008 with our Tim Holtz tag. You can see Tim's here. I have used a picture of my husband with his sister. Rumor has it she told Santa he was very naughty and shouldn't get anything. I have left off some of Tim's embellishing and mine is printed on canvas but not the sticky back kind. If you want to play along link up to Kathy's blog so we can come see.
Thank you for looking!
